Charadriiformes

Charadriiformes (, from Charadrius, the type genus of family Charadriidae) is a diverse order of small to medium-large birds. It includes about 390 species and has members in all parts of the world. Most charadriiform birds live near water and eat invertebrates or other small animals; however, some are pelagic (seabirds), others frequent deserts, and a few are found in dense forest. Members of this group can also collectively be referred to as shorebirds.

AI overview

Charadriiformes is a large order of birds with roughly 390 species found worldwide, ranging from small to medium-large in size. Most members live near water and eat invertebrates or small animals, though some have adapted to life at sea, in deserts, or forests, making them a remarkably diverse group often called shorebirds.

==Taxonomy, systematics and evolution== The order was formerly divided into three suborders: The waders (or "Charadrii"): typical shorebirds, most of which feed by probing in the mud or picking items off the surface in both coastal and freshwater environments. The gulls and their allies (or "Lari"): these are generally larger species which take fish from the sea. Several gulls and skuas will also take food items from beaches, or rob smaller species, and some have become adapted to inland environments. The auks (or "Alcae") are coastal species which nest on sea cliffs and "fly" underwater to catch fish.
