	Charadriiformes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sibley-Alquist taxonomy, which has been widely accepted in America, lumps all the Charadriiformes together with the seabirds and birds of prey into a greatly enlarged order Ciconiiformes.
		The auks (or Alcae) are coastal species which nest on sea cliffs and "fly" underwater to catch fish.

	Petroicidae - free-definition
		Sibley and Alquist's DNA-DNA hybridisation studies suggested that they were most closely allied with the superfamily Corvoidea (a huge group that includes the shrikes, crows and jays, butcherbirds, woodswallows, drongos, cuckoo-shrike, fantails, monarch flycatchers and many others).
		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.

	User talk:Tannin/030407 article - User talk:Tannin/030407 - What-Means.com
		A general problem with taxonomy is that many wiki articles are based on very old sources, but as we know, even modern sources, esp. American, have different views.
		With taxonomy, I'm using an oldish basis in list of birds, but trying to update as I go along.
		I think that we also have a problem ourselves with taxonomy of birds of prey.

	Rockfowl page
		In past decades they were often tossed into the babbler assemblage, but its humerus is corvine and DNA work suggests its closest relatives are the rockjumpers (Chaetops) of South Africa (Sibley and Alquist 1990).
		Sibley and Monroe (1990) lumped the rockfowl with the rockjumpers in a single family, but there is little support for this position.
		Current information about the taxonomy, identification, and biology of Rockfowl is nicely summarized in Thompson and Fotso (1994) which includes a fine color plate of both species by Mark Andrews.

	Fungal and bacterial taxonomy, diagnostics, and ecology
		Since the 1970's Sibley and Alquist have turned bird taxonomy onto its head, demonstrating, convincingly, that things are not as simple as previously believed, and that a number of odd and taxonomically controversial species are related.
		Fungal taxonomy is in a state of flux, and the relationships of different groups within the main groups may still change.
		Probably in excess of 98% of the bird species in the world are described, and it is easy to work out the affinities of any new ones (currently 2-3 species a year, mainly from Zoology students from KU working in Peru and Bolivia).

	FAQ: Taxonomy
		The studies of Sibley, Alquist, Monroe and their teams have led to very different taxonomic proposals, based considerably upon DNA recombination techniques, but their results have also been criticized on methodological and other grounds.
		Since then, DNA analysis and trends in taxonomy have caused many species to be "split" into two or more species.

		Recent findings published by Sibley and Alquist (1990) based on 25,000 DNA hybridizations of nearly all bird families of the world suggest some major re-classifications.
		The higher the temp needed to disassociate them, the more tightly they were bound together, so the more closely related the species are to one another.
