		The Galliformes is an order of bird s containing the turkeys, chicken, grouse, quail s and pheasant s.
		The Anseriformes (duck s and their allies) and the Galliformes are ancestral to neognathous birds, and should follow ratite s and tinamou s in bird classification systems.

	Galliformes - EvoWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Galliformes (Temminck, 1820), is an order of land-fowl (chickens and allies), including Phasianidae (pheasants, grouse, quail, partridges, guineafowl, etc), Megapodiidae (megapodes), and Cracidae (curassows, guans, chachalacas).
		Galliformes are primarily terrestrial birds, though they are powerful burst flyers.
		Galliformes are now widely thought to be the sister clade to the water-fowl (or Anseriformes) together forming the clade Galloanserae, based on a wide variety of molecular and morphologic data, though this argument is not without objection.

	Galliformes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These birds vary in size from small to large, but they are typically stoutly built and have short thick bills primarily adapted for seed-eating or the consumption of other plant material such as heather shoots.
		The buttonquail family is traditionally listed among the Galliformes, but many authorites now regard it as sufficiently different to list it as a separate order.
		The Anseriformes (ducks and their allies) and the Galliformes are ancestral to neognathous birds, and should follow ratites and tinamous in bird classification systems.

	gbwf.org, Aviculture and Conservation of Galliformes
		Galliformes are the order of birds that includes pheasants, peafowl, francolin, partridge, quail, grouse, turkey, guineafowl and cracids - more commonly referred to as game birds.
		Galliformes have long been a part of our human culture and one species in particular, the Red Junglefowl, may perhaps be the most important bird species in the world as they are the ancestors of domestic chickens.
		The avicultural data within the species accounts are an introduction to galliforme aviculture, it is highly recommended and encouraged to increase your knowledge about the birds listed here by following up on the recommended reading sections on each page.

	ADW: Galliformes: Information
		Some phasianoid galliforms have been domesticated and are kept as ornamentals or are bred and raised for human consumption.
		Galliform taxa inhabit a diversity of habits including primary forests, deserts, scrub forests, cultivated lands, bamboo thickets and alpine meadows.
		Galliformes is a large and diverse group of birds.

	The World Pheasant Association, Galliforme conservation action and breeding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Captive populations of Galliformes can be valuable in raising public awareness of the plight of wild populations and their declining habitats.
		WPA recognises that the maintenance of galliform populations in the wild, and their habitats, as one of the most effective and desirable means of ensuring their long-term survival.
		Conservation breeding of Galliformes should be undertaken as part of an integrated recovery strategy involving defined conservation objectives, in co-operation with the authorities of the country of origin.

	The Galliformes
		Like the rest of the Galliformes, Pheasants are ground-feeding omnivorous birds, feeding mostly on insects, seeds and fruit.
		As with other Galliform groups, the young are precocial and able to fend for the themselves almost immediately.
		The nest is built on the ground and unlike other Galliform groups the male helps incubate the 8-15 eggs.

	ADW: Galliformes: Information
		Galliformes is a large and diverse group comprising about 70 genera and more than 250 species.
		Taxa within Galliformes are commonly referred to as 'gallinaceous birds' (meaning chicken-like) or game birds (as many species are hunted).
		Historical relationships within Galloanserae remain uncertain, although some evidence suggests that Galliformes and Anseriformes are sister taxa.

	Galloanserae
		: An accumulating body of independent evidence indicates that the (1) the Galliformes and Anseriformes are sister taxa, and (2) they represent the earliest branch in the living class Aves after the palaeognaths.
		A study of cranial morphology led Simonetta (1963) to suggest a sister relation between Anseriformes and Galliformes.
		Ericson's (1997) analysis of osteological characters was ambiguous: he was unable to corroborate their sister relationship but also was unable to refute it.

		Although no natural infection or clinical signs of West Nile Virus (WNV) have been reported in domestic commercial poultry (Galliformes), and only sporadic cases of WNV infection have been reported in Ostriches,
		Despite uncertainty, epidemiological evidence suggested that in this particular situation percutaneous injury or fecal-oral, or respiratory exposure to aerosolized infected turkey feces could have caused human infection.
		Limited research and indirect evidence suggests that the pathogenesis of WNV in these classes of poultry is similar to that seen in commercial chickens.

		By and large things are the same, but several changes have been made to better reflect the fact that the Galliformes Genetics Group is a technical group of the WPA (World Pheasant Association).
		Finally, if you are currently working in the lab using molecular techniques on galliformes (or other species), please consider becoming a member of our bulletin board for discussion of lab-related problems/solutions/etc.
		I have recently installed some software that will allow the members of the GGG and other interested parties to discuss various issues, including those pertaining to the ins and outs of lab- and field-work with particular focus on troubleshooting lab problems.

	On The Phylogeny and Classification of Living Birds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		They developed a complete matrix among a duck (Anas), an owl (Bubo), two pigeons (Zenaida, Columba), a mousebird (Colius), and two galliforms (Gallus, Coturnix), with a reptile (Alligator) as the outgroup.
		They analyzed their data in several ways and concluded that their results "...support Sibley and Ahlquist's use of DT50H to assess ordinal patterns...." and their data confirm a portion of our phylogeny based on the same technique.
		Comparisons of the electrophoretic patterns of the egg-white proteins of the Hoatzin, several cuckoos, galliforms and species in other groups indicated that the Hoatzin is most closely related to the anis (Crotophaga) and the Guira Cuckoo G. guira (Sibley and Ahlquist 1973).
