	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Inter-familial relationships of the shorebirds (Aves: Charadriiformes) based on nuclear ...
		The Scolopaci comprised the Jacanidae (jacanas), Rostratulidae (painted snipe), Scolopacidae (sandpipers, stints, snipe, curlews and allies) and Thinocoridae (seedsnipe).
		According to the myoglobin intron II tree, Jacanidae and Thinocoridae constitute one group, and this group is the sister to Rostratulidae.
		In comparing 51 measurements from skeletal elements among 93 species of jaegers, skuas, gulls, terns, and skimmers, Schnell concluded that skimmers are most similar to terns, and that the differences between jaegers and gulls are greater than those between gulls and terns.

	Linear sequence of families in Charadriiformes
		Oddballs like Thinocoridae and Chionidae are placed between "shorebirds" and "gulls." Relationships among these families have been controversial -- see references at our SACC site.
		(1) the Charadriiformes consists of three major groups: (1) the Scolopaci [Scolopacidae, Thinocoridae, Pedionomidae, Rostratulidae, and Jacanidae]; (2) the Charadrii [Charadriidae, Recurvirostridae, Haematopodidae, Burhinidae, and Chionidae]; and (3) the Lari [Laridae, Rynchopidae, Stercorariidae, Alcidae, and Glareolidae].
		(3) Thinocoridae is sister to Jacanidae + Rostratulidae (Sibley and Ahlquist have it as sister to other Scolopaci but still with Scolopaci)

		We found that Turnix is not a gruiform and has no close living relatives, hence we placed it in its own Order Turniciformes.
		Our data also showed that the Plains-wanderer (Pedionomus) of Australia is not related to Turnix, but is closest to the seedsnipe (Thinocoridae) of South America, thus supporting Olson and Steadman (1981).
		DNA of the Lark Buttonquail (Ortyxelos) was not available and its relationships remain uncertain.

	Plains-Wanderer
		Males (especially) look like buttonquail when hunkered down on the ground.
		Olson and Steadman (1981), however, studied its anatomy and behavior, and this research, along with the results of DNA-DNA hybridization, showed that it actually is a Charadriiforme (like the phalarope) and that its closest relative may be the South American seedsnipes (Thinocoridae).
		The current thought is that it is "an ancient member of Australia's avifauna, with origins dating back to when Australia was part of the Gondwanan supercontinent and connected to South America via the Antarctic landbridge" (Baker-Gabb 1996).
