Columbimorphae is a clade discovered by genome analysis that includes birds of the orders Columbiformes (pigeons and doves), Pterocliformes (sandgrouse), and Mesitornithiformes (mesites).[2][3] Previous analyses had also recovered this grouping,[4][5][6] although the exact relationships differed. Some studies indicated a sister relationship between sandgrouse and pigeons (the traditional view)[5][7][8] while other studies favored a sister grouping of mesites and sandgrouse instead.[6]
