Biology:Australaves

From HandWiki

Australaves is a clade of birds,[1] defined in 2012,[2] consisting of the Eufalconimorphae (passerines, parrots and falcons) as well as the Cariamiformes (including seriemas and the extinct "terror birds").[3] They appear to be the sister group of Afroaves.[3] This clade was defined in the PhyloCode by George Sangster and colleagues in 2022 as "the least inclusive crown clade containing Cariama cristata and Passer domesticus".[4]

Location

The clade's name, meaning 'southern birds', reflects the group's evolutionary origins in the Southern Hemisphere: passerines and parrots in Australia, and falcons and seriemas in South America.[2]

As in the case of Afroaves, the most basal clades have predatory extant members, suggesting this was the ancestral lifestyle;[5] however, some researchers like Darren Naish are skeptical of this assessment, since some extinct representatives such as the herbivorous Strigogyps led other lifestyles.[6] Basal parrots and falcons are at any rate vaguely crow-like and probably omnivorous.[7]
