This page is part of a series resource pages created as an aid to editing Wikipedia articles, especially adding cladograms to show phylogenetic relationships.

This page has a comparison of phylogenetic relationships of living bird families in various studies: Oliveros et al (2019), Kuhl et al (2020) and others form specific subgroups (Harvey el al, 2021, Cai et al, 2019,2020; Barker et al, 2013,2015).

Passeri (H&M4/Cracraft)

The classification by Cracraft (2014) in H&M4 divides Passeri into six infraorders, which are used by Oliveros et al (2019). The classification in The Largest Avian Radiation by Fjeldså et al (2020) uses the same six taxon names but at the rank of cohort. Their divisions into parvorders and superfamilies differ. Corvides and Passerides correspond to the parvorders Corvida and Passerida in the sibley classification.
