	Stercorariidae -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		They are rapacious birds resembling a dark gull with a forward-set fl cap and projecting central tail feathers.
		In American usage, the name is restricted to Catharacta skua, called great skua in Britain; three smaller birds also known in Britain as skuas are called jaegers in the United States (see jaeger).
		A seabird belonging with the jaegers to the family Stercorariidae, the skua is related to the gulls and terns.

		Genera Stercorarius Catharacta The skuas are seabirds in the family Stercorariidae.
		The suborder Lari is the part of the order Charadriiformes which includes the gulls, terns, skuas and skimmers, with the waders and auks making up the rest of the order.
		Several gulls and skuas will also take food items from beaches, or rob smaller species, and some have become adapted to inland environments.

		B.L. Cohen, Baker, A.J., Blechschmidt, K., Dittmann, D.L., Furness, R.W., Gerwin, J.A., Helbig, A.J., De Korte, J., Marshall, H.D., Palma, R.L., Peter, H.-U., Ramli, R., Siebold, I, Willcox, M.S., Wison, R.H. Zink, R.M. Multiple sources of evidence show that the skuas (Aves: Stercorariidae) are a monophyletic group, closely related to gulls (Laridae).
		On morphological and behavioural evidence the Stercorariidae are divided into two widely divergent genera, Cataracta and Stercorarius, consistent with observed levels of nuclear and mitochondrial gene divergence.
		Catharacta skuas are large-bodied and with one exception breed in the Southern Hemisphere.

		Cooperative breeding in the skuas (Stercorariidae): history, distribution and incidence
		It has not been reported amongst seabirds, with the exception of skuas (Stercorariidae).
		That apparently anomalous occurrence has implications for the conventional adaptive theories used to explain cooperative breeding.
