Citations in the corpus
- The Basal Penguin (Aves: Sphenisciformes) Perudyptes devriesi and a Phylogenetic Evaluation of the Penguin Fossil Record (2010, background): “…1991; van Tuinen et al., 2000; Livezey and Zusi, 2006, 2007; Hackett et al., 2008), Gaviiformes (Mayr and Clarke, 2003), or a clade uniting Procellariiformes + Gaviiformes (Sibley and Ahlquist, 1990; Cooper and Penny, 1997) (see also summary hypothesis and discussion of Cracraft et al., 2004).”
- The evolutionary radiation of modern birds (Neornithes): reconciling molecules, morphology and the fossil record (2004, background): “These birds have often been considered closely related to the Strigiformes and/or Apodiformes (see below), but their monophyly has recently been called into question (Cracraft et al., 2004).”
- Metaves, Mirandornithes, Strisores and other novelties – a critical review of the higher‐level phylogeny of neornithine birds (2010, background): “…affinities of the cuckoo-roller were, however, already questioned by Mayr (1998), and these are also not supported by molecular analyses (Mayr et al. 2003; Ericson et al. 2006; Hackett et al. 2008; Mayr 2008c; contra Sibley and Ahlquist 1990; Cracraft et al. 2004; Livezey and Zusi 2007).”
- Paleontological evidence to date the tree of life. (2006, background): “Only 2 divergence dates will be presented for birds, partly because there has been less gene sequencing than for mammals, but also because most details of the branching pattern of the tree of extant birds are still disputed (Cracraft et al. 2004; Dyke and Van Tuinen 2004).”
