Neoaves
Sign in to saveAlso known as Neoavian, Neoavians
Neoaves is a clade that consists of all modern birds (Neornithes or Aves) with the exception of Palaeognathae (ratites and kin) and Galloanserae (ducks, chickens and kin). This group is defined in the PhyloCode by George Sangster and colleagues in 2022 as "the most inclusive crown clade containing Passer domesticus, but not Gallus gallus". Almost 95% of the roughly 10,000 known species of extant birds belong to the Neoaves.
Species
Neoaves es un clado que contiene a todas las aves modernas (Neornithes) con la excepción de Paleognathae y Galloanserae. La temprana diversificación de los linajes de Neoaves ocurrió muy rápidamente, por lo que tratar de resolver las relaciones filogenéticas ha sido difícil, aunque se han logrado ciertos consensos en determinados linajes pero con varias controversias.[2][3] Neoaves Mirandornithes Phoenicopteriformes Podicipediformes Columbimorphae Columbiformes Mesitornithiformes Pterocliformes Passerea Otidiformes Cuculiformes Musophagiformes Gruiformes Charadriiformes Opisthocomiformes Caprimulgiformes Ardeae Eurypygimorphae Phaethontiformes Eurypygiformes Aequornithes Gaviiformes[4] Austrodyptornithes Procellariiformes Sphenisciformes Ciconiiformes Suliformes Pelecaniformes Telluraves Accipitrimorphae Cathartiformes Accipitriformes Strigiformes Coraciimorphae Coliiformes Cavitaves Leptosomiformes Trogoniformes Picocoraciae Bucerotiformes Picodynastornithes Coraciiformes Piciformes Australaves Cariamiformes Eufalconimorphae Falconiformes Psittacopasserae Psittaciformes Passeriformes Cladograma de las relaciones filogenéticas de las aves modernas basado en Braun & Kimball (

Neoaves is a clade that consists of all modern birds (Neornithes or Aves) with the exception of Palaeognathae (ratites and kin) and Galloanserae (ducks, chickens and kin). This group is defined in the PhyloCode by George Sangster and colleagues in 2022 as "the most inclusive crown clade containing Passer domesticus, but not Gallus gallus". Almost 95% of the roughly 10,000 known species of extant birds belong to the Neoaves.
The early diversification of the various neoavian groups occurred very rapidly around the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, and attempts to resolve their relationships with each other have resulted initially in much controversy.
