Journal ArticleDOI
Eocene plesiadapiform shows affinities with flying lemurs not primates
TL;DR: The first well-preserved skull of Ignacius graybullianus, an early Eocene paromomyid plesiadapiform, clarifies and corrects previous cranial reconstruction based on more fragmentary material, and indicates PlesiadAPiformes are not Primates, and the recently coined taxon "Euprimates" should be discarded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ostrich ancestors found in the Northern Hemisphere suggest new hypothesis of ratite origins
TL;DR: Newly studied fossils suggest that the ancestors of ostriches are instead among a group of North American and European birds, the ‘Lithornis-cohort’, that had the potential of flight and from which the kiwis may have arisen separately.

TL;DR: The Avian Phylogenomics Project is the largest vertebrate phylogenomics project to date and the sequence, alignment, and tree data are expected to accelerate analyses in phylogenomics and other related areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny of “core Gruiformes” (Aves: Grues) and resolution of the Limpkin–Sungrebe problem
TL;DR: DNA sequence data from four mitochondrial and three nuclear loci are presented to test previous hypotheses of interfamilial relationships within Grues and confirm the monophyly of Grues as a whole and of the five families individually, including all three species of Heliornithidae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstruction of gross avian genome structure, organization and evolution suggests that the chicken lineage most closely resembles the dinosaur avian ancestor

TL;DR: Reconstructing evolutionary events that led to each species’ genome organization, it is determined that the fastest rate of change occurred in the zebra finch and budgerigar, consistent with rapid speciation events in the Passeriformes and Psittaciformes.
