Journal ArticleDOI

Diversification of Neoaves: integration of molecular sequence data and fossils.

TL;DR: The calibration results suggest that Neoaves, after an initial split from Galloanseres in Mid-Cretaceous, diversified around or soon after the K/T boundary, and show that there is no solid molecular evidence for an extensive pre-Tertiary radiation of Neoaves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nuclear DNA from old collections of avian study skins reveals the evolutionary history of the Old World suboscines (Aves, Passeriformes)

TL;DR: The phylogenetic hypothesis of the Old World suboscines (Eurylaimides) presented herein strongly supports a monophyletic origin of the pittas (Pittidae) and suggests that pitts could be divided into three major groups in agreement with the external morphological variation found in this group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sapayoa aenigma: a New World representative of 'Old World suboscines'.

TL;DR: Sapayoa aenigma, a member of the large group of New World flycatchers, has been difficult to place, and DNA-DNA hybridization experiments have indicated that it may have been misplaced, but base sequencing of two nuclear genes places it as a deep branch in the group of broadbills and pittas of the Old World tropics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Higher-level phylogeny and morphological evolution of tyrant flycatchers, cotingas, manakins, and their allies (Aves: Tyrannida).

TL;DR: An analysis of DNA sequence data obtained from two nuclear exons, three introns, and one mitochondrial gene for 26 genera of Tyrannida and 6 tracheophone outgroups resulted in well-supported hypotheses about the earliest evolution within Tyrannida.
