Laridae - Gulls, Terns, Skimmers[edit]

Family Laridae - Gulls, Terns, Skimmers
The skimmers Rynchops and terns are embedded among the gulls in a monophyletic clade; separation of the families Rynchopidae and Sternidae would render the gull family Laridae paraphyletic relative to these other two groups (Baker et al. 2008).

Phalacrocoracidae - Cormorants, Shags[edit]

Family Phalacrocoracidae - Cormorants, Shags
Until recently, the genera of cormorants and the distinctions between "shags" and "cormorants" have remained mostly unresolved due to conflicts among studies and missing taxa (Siegel-Causey 1988; Kennedy et al. 2000; Christidis & Boles 2008). We follow the comprehensive phylogenetic studies of Kennedy & Spencer (2014) and Kennedy et al. (2019) in resequencing this family. Generic revisions were accepted for the North American species by NACC (Chesser et al. 2021) but narrowly declined by SACC (Proposal 648).

Strigidae - Owls[edit]

Family Strigidae - Owls
Generic sequence of Strigidae is based on the molecular phylogenetic analysis of Salter et al. (2019). This analysis also reveals that Strigidae is composed of two major clades that have been treated as subfamilies: Surniinae and Striginae, respectively. Species sequence is based primarily on the NACC and SACC for genera limited to the western hemisphere and Dickinson & Remsen (2013) for the others.

Platylophidae - Jayshrike[edit]

Family Platylophidae - Jayshrike
Recent phylogenetic analyses have shown that Platylophus is not a true corvid (Corvidae), but rather has an unsettled position within the Corvoidea radiation (Jønsson et al. 2008, Aggerbeck et al. 2014, Winkler et al. 2015; Oliveros et al. 2019; Jønsson et al. 2011; Jønsson et al. 2016, Fuchs et al. 2019; Stervander et al. 2020). Best placed in its own family Platylophidae which has been recently formally described (Gaudin et al. 2021). However, an alternate name for this family, Lophocittidae, may have precedence depending on whether Lophocitteae Kaup, 1855 is interpreted as having been originally introduced as a family-group name or as a genus-group name (Gaudin et al. 2021; Raty in litt. 9/10/21, Bird Forum https://www.birdforum.net/threads/crested-jay.323243/page-2).

Paradoxornithidae - Parrotbills & Allies[edit]

Family Paradoxornithidae - Parrotbills & Allies
Paradoxornithidae is sister to Sylviidae but is deeply divided from it to a degree that is similar to other families in the babbler radiation. Recognize as a separate family (Cai et al. 2019). Sequence and constituent species of the entire family is based on Cai et al. (2019). Alteration of the generic taxonomy of the parrotbill group, per se, with its reduction from nine to only two genera, formerly based on Penhallurick & Robson (2009), is revised to also follow Cai et al. (2019) in 13.2.

Modulatricidae - Dapple-throat & Allies[edit]

Family Modulatricidae - Dapple-throat & Allies
Promeropidae and Arcanatoridae are basal branches that each go further back in time than almost any other extant lineage in the Passerida. Best to treat as two families pending confirmation of their sister relationship (Johansson et al. 2008a; Fjeldså 2012). Modulatricidae has priority over Arcanatoridae.
