  Charles Sibley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sibley developed an interest in hybridisation and its implications for evolution and taxonomy and, in the early 1960s he began to focus on molecular studies: of blood proteins, and then the electrophoresis of egg-white proteins.
By the early 1970s Sibley was pioneering DNA-DNA hybridisation studies, with the aim of discovering, once and for all, the true relationships between the modern orders of birds.
Sibley's sequence has been taken up largely unchanged by the American Ornithologists' Union, and although the equivalent bodies in other countries have not adopted it in toto, it has been a major influence.
