	Petroicidae
		Nests are cup-shaped, usually constructed by the female, and often placed in a vertical fork of a tree or shrub; many species are expert at adding moss, bark or lichen to the outside of the nest as camoflague, making it very difficult to spot (even when it is in a seemingly prominent location).
		The relationship of the Petroicidae to other bird families is uncertain.
		More recent protein allozyme studies, on the other hand, suggest that they be placed with the Meliphagoidea[?]—the superfamily that includes the honeyeaters, Australian wrens, Pardalotes, and thornbills[?]) and itself derives from the great Australasian corvid radiation.

		Nests are cup-shaped usually constructed by the and often placed in a vertical fork a tree or shrub; many species are at adding moss bark or lichen to outside of the nest as camouflague making very difficult to spot (even when it in a seemingly prominent location).
		More recent protein allozyme studies on the hand suggest that they be placed with Meliphagoidea—the superfamily that includes the honeyeaters Australian wrens Pardalotes and thornbills) and itself derives from great Australasian corvid radiation.
		Although the details remain uncertain the overall is clear: despite the striking similarity between robins of Australasia and the true robins of Europe their genetic relationship is distant and the Petroicidae are more closely to the crows and jays than to the group of northern birds which resemble them in appearance diet and even coloration.

		The breeding biology of the red-capped robin (Petroica goodenovii) (Petroicidae) was studied over two breeding seasons (2000–02) in Terrick Terrick National Park, Victoria.
		A comparative analysis within the Petroicidae, controlled for body size, revealed that species endemic to Australia have shorter incubation periods, and species from semi-arid and dry woodlands have longer incubation periods than other species.
		Findings from this study are discussed in relation to the breeding ecology of other members of the Petroicidae.

	Auz Robins page
		The Petroicidae is primarily an Australasian family of small flycatchers, often called "robins" although they are not at all related to New World "robins" which are thrushes [Turdidae] nor to Eurasian "robins" that are Old World flycatchers [Muscicapidae].
		The Petroicidae are less inclined to be aerial than other "flycatchers" around the world but their behavior is not unlike Old World robins in the Muscicapidae (they were once thought to belong to this family but we now know they are not related at all).
		It is a fairly simple rendition of field marks, habitat, and basic biology but is nicely illustrated with plates by Peter Slater and has that certain "you are there" quality to the writing that whets one's appetite to see these birds.

		The family Petroicidae includes about 45 species of small bird in 15 genera.
		They are clearly part of a particularly old lineage, and not related to the European robins they were named for, nor the North and South American robins, which are actually thrushes (relatives of the introduced Common Blackbird).

		These Australo-Papuan flycatchers evolved in isolation and now fill a niche not unlike New World flycatchers or Old World flycatchers, just as Australo-Papuan warblers [Acanthizidae] evolved to fill the niche exploited by New World warblers and Old World Warblers on the larger continents.

		Evolutionary significance of sexual dimorphism in Robins (Family Petroicidae) Many species of Australo-Papuan robins are sexually dimorphic with males possessing brightly coloured plumages.
		This study tests whether this is a consequence of selection for bright plumage in males or drab plumage in females.

	University of Melbourne ePrints Repository - Behavioural ecology of the red-capped robin
		In this thesis, I describe aspects of the behavioural ecology of the red-capped robin Petroica goodenovii (Petroicidae), relating to its mating system and breeding biology, based on field research during two breeding seasons (2000/01 and 2001/02) in Terrick Terrick National Park (northern Victoria, Australia).
		A comparative analysis within the Petroicidae (members of which are distributed throughout Australasia) revealed that species endemic to Australia had shorter incubation periods, and species from semi-arid and dry woodlands had comparatively longer incubation periods.
		Red-capped robin abundances within white cypress-pine woodlands of Terrick Terrick National Park were higher than those of nearby eucalypt woodlands, suggesting such pine woodlands provide high quality habitat for red-capped robins.

		The robins of Australia are not related to the English robins of which they were named after, but belong to their own family the Petroicidae.
		They were so named because like the English robins, the robins of the south-eastern Australian woodlands stood upright on a perch, flew out to feed on insects, and often had bright pink and red breasts.
