Taxon of birds
Aequorlitornithes is a
clade of waterbirds recovered in a comprehensive genomic systematic study using nearly 200 species in 2015. It contains the clades
Charadriiformes (waders and shorebirds),
Mirandornithes (flamingos and grebes) and
Phaethoquornithes (
Eurypygimorphae and
Aequornithes ).
[1] Previous studies have found different placement for the clades in the tree.

A 2024 study used Aequorlitornithes for a similar clade, which they recovered as part of
Aquaterraves . This clade also included
Opisthocomiformes and excluded
Charadriiformes , which they recovered in
Litusilvanae , a novel clade within Aquaterraves, which also included
Gruiformes and
Caprimulgimorphae .
