Clades

Aequorlitornithes is a clade of waterbirds recovered in a comprehensive genomic systematic study using nearly 200 species in 2015. It contains the clades Charadriiformes (waders and shorebirds), Mirandornithes (flamingos and grebes) and Phaethoquornithes (Eurypygimorphae and Aequornithes).[1] Previous studies have found different placement for the clades in the tree.[2][3][4]

Aequorlitornithes

Mirandornithes (flamingos and grebes)

Charadriiformes (shorebirds)

Phaethoquornithes

Eurypygimorphae (sunbittern, kagu and tropicbirds)

Aequornithes (loons, penguins, herons, pelicans, storks, etc)

A 2024 study used Aequorlitornithes for a similar clade, which they recovered as part of Aquaterraves. This clade also included Opisthocomiformes and excluded Charadriiformes, which they recovered in Litusilvanae, a novel clade within Aquaterraves, which also included Gruiformes and Caprimulgimorphae.[5]
