Tree-dwelling birds believed to be related to the true passerines
Near passerines and higher land-bird assemblage are terms of traditional, pre-
cladistic
taxonomy that have often been given to tree-dwelling
birds or those most often believed to be related to the true
passerines (order
Passeriformes ) owing to morphological and ecological similarities; the group corresponds to some extent with the Anomalogonatae of
Alfred Henry Garrod .
[1]
Biology
All near passerines are land birds. However, molecular data does not support the traditional arrangement; it is now clear that "near passerines" and "higher landbirds" are not synonymous.
Per Ericson and colleagues, analyzing genomic DNA revealed a lineage comprising Passeriformes,
Psittaciformes and
Falconiformes .
[2]
Orders
Pterocliformes (sandgrouse),
Columbiformes (pigeons),
Cuculiformes (cuckoos),
Caprimulgiformes (nightjars), and
Apodiformes (swifts, hummingbirds) are no longer recognized as near passerines.
[3] The true near-passerine families are the
Psittaciformes (parrots), the
Falconiformes (falcons), and the
Cariamiformes (seriemas).
[4] These three orders, together with the
Passeriformes make up the
Australaves . Sister to the
Australaves are the
Afroaves (see
Telluraves ).
The phylogenetic relationships between the orders are:
