Can You Do The Mekong Catfish Please
I can see these birds possibly being related to the Lark family
so cute!
Comments for the algorithm
Actually, you are incorrect, columbids and sandgrouse are actually more closely related to each other than to any other birds alive today, sandgrouse and columbids are the sole extant families of the orders Pteroclidiformes and Columbiformes respectively, both monotypic orders actually belong to the grandorder Columbimorphae, which is the most basal of the three grandorders of the superorder Telluraves, which also contains cuckoos, turacos, bustards, mesites, nightjars, nighthawks, poorwills, pauraques, owlet nightjars, frogmouths, potoos, oilbirds, swifts, hummingbirds, owls, trogons, woodpeckers, honeyguides, toucans, barbets, jacamars, puffbirds, rollers, kingfishers, bee-eaters, motmots, todies, hornbills, hoopoes, woodhoopoes, scimitarbills, mousebirds, parrots, and passerines, while shorebirds (order Charadriiformes) are more closely related to the order Gruiformes (Cranes, Limpkin, Trumpeter, Rails, Crakes, Sora, Gallinules, Nativehens, Swamphens, Moorhen, Watercock, Coots, Finfoots, Flufftails, Woodrails, and Forest Rails) and are grouped with them under the grandorder Gruicharadriae, which is the most basal of the three grandorders of the superorder Aequornithes, the superorder that includes all extant waterbirds other than waterfowl (order Anseriformes), the other two grandorders of Aequornithes are Ciconiopelecanae that contains the orders Ciconiiformes (Storks, Herons, Egrets, Bitterns, Ibises, and Spoonbills) and Pelecaniformes (Pelicans, Cormorants, Shags, Darters, Frigatebirds, Boobies, Gannets, Tropicbirds, Shoebill, Hamerkop, Sunbittern, and Kagu) and Procellariimorphae that is further split into the mirorders Procellariae for only the order Procellariiformes (Petrels, Shearwaters, Fulmars, Prions, Albatrosses, and Storm Petrels), Gaviopodicipedae for the orders Podicipediformes (Grebes) and Gaviiformes (Loons), and Phoenicopterospheniscae for the orders Phoenicopteriformes (Flamingos) and Sphenisciformes (Penguins), while the other two grandorders of Telluraves are Furitivornithes that contains the orders Cuculiformes (Cuckoos, Turacos, Bustards, and Mesites), Caprimulgiformes (Nightjars, Nighthawks, Poorwills, Pauraques, Owlet Nightjars, Frogmouths, Potoos, and Oilbird), Apodiformes (Swifts and Hummingbirds), and Strigiformes (Owls) and Coraciopasserea that is further split into the mirorders Coraciimorphae for the orders Trogoniformes (Trogons), Piciformes (Woodpeckers, Honeyguides, Toucans, Barbets, Jacamars, and Puffbirds), and Coraciiformes (Rollers, Kingfishers, Bee-Eaters, Motmots, Todies, Hornbills, Hoopoes, Woodhoopoes, and Scimitarbills) and Passerimorphae for the orders Coliiformes (Mousebirds), Psittaciformes (Parrots), and Passeriformes (Passerines), the two superorders of birds that are more basal than Aequornithes and Telluraves are Palaeognathae and Palaeoaves, Palaeognathae contains the grandorders Tinamimorphae (Tinamous and Fossil Relatives) and Struthionimorphae (Ratites), the tinamous (order Tinamiformes) are the sole extant order of the grandorder Tinamimorphae, while ratites (grandorder Struthionimorphae) are split into the mirorders Struthionorheae (Holotropical Ratites) for the orders Struthioniformes (Ostriches and Fossil Relatives) and Rheiformes (Rheas and Fossil Relatives) and Casuarioapterygae (Oceanian Ratites) for the orders Casuariiformes (Cassowaries and Emu) and Apterygiformes (Kiwis and Fossil Relatives), while Palaeoaves contains the orders Opisthocomiformes (Hoatzin and Fossil Relatives), Falconiformes (Birds of Prey), Galliformes (Gamebirds), and Anseriformes (Waterfowl).
I don't how this video contradicts what you said. You could've given this lecture without saying "you're wrong" first and then trying to impress by reciting flow charts of orders. Congrats you know that 🎉 woohoo
Except the Mesites are in the order Mesitornithiformes in the Columbimorphae Clade. That's their closest relative. I understand bringing up the Cuckoos but WTF are you doing mentioning everything else? Are you an AI?
@j.stanley1669, actually, the mesites (family Mesitornithidae) belong to the order Cuculiformes along with the cuckoos (family Cuculidae), turacos (family Musophagidae), and bustards (family Otididae), there, the closest living relatives of the mesites are actually the bustards, sandgrouse and columbids are more closely related to each other because they are more similar to each other, hence, Columbimorphae is restricted only to the monotypic orders Pteroclidiformes and Columbiformes, Columbimorphae is the most basal grandorder of the superorder Telluraves.
@indyreno2933 Cuckoos are the sole taxon in the order Cuculiformes. Otidimorphae is a clade of birds that contains the orders Cuculiformes (cuckoos), Musophagiformes (turacos), and Otidiformes (bustards) identified in 2014 by genome analysis. Columbimorphae does indeed contain sandgrouse and columbids AS WELL AS mesites, but it isn't basal within the Telluraves for goodness sakes! It's one of the "magnificent seven" supraordinal clades in the Neoaves, alongside Telluraves and Otidimorphae. If you and this video are referencing a more recent genetic study, please let me know. As it stands right now, you didn't even need to LEAVE Columbimorphae to make your point. (Edit: To make it clear, I'm arguing because mesites are a sister group to sandgrouse and I have just noticed there's a newer study from 2020 that does suggest some rearrangement but the mesites are still with them.)
@j.stanley1669, actually, there are just thirty valid extant orders of birds: Tinamiformes (Tinamous), Struthioniformes (Ostriches), Rheiformes (Rheas), Casuariiformes (Cassowaries and Emu), Apterygiformes (Kiwis), Opisthocomiformes (Hoatzin), Falconiformes (Birds of Prey), Galliformes (Gamebirds), Anseriformes (Waterfowl), Gruiformes (Cranes, Limpkin, Trumpeter, Rails, Crakes, Sora, Gallinules, Nativehens, Swamphens, Moorhen, Watercock, Coots, Finfoots, Flufftails, Woodrails, and Forest Rails), Charadriiformes (Shorebirds), Ciconiiformes (Storks, Herons, Egrets, Bitterns, Ibises, and Spoonbills), Pelecaniformes (Pelicans, Cormorants, Shags, Darters, Frigatebirds, Boobies, Gannets, Tropicbirds, Shoebill, Hamerkop, Sunbittern, and Kagu), Procellariiformes (Petrels, Shearwaters, Fulmars, Prions, Albatrosses, and Storm Petrels), Podicipediformes (Grebes), Gaviiformes (Loons), Phoenicopteriformes (Flamingos), Sphenisciformes (Penguins), Pteroclidiformes (Sandgrouse), Columbiformes (Pigeons and Doves), Cuculiformes (Cuckoos, Turacos, Bustards, and Mesites), Caprimulgiformes (Nightjars, Nighthawks, Poorwills, Pauraques, Owlet Nightjars, Frogmouths, Potoos, and Oilbird), Apodiformes (Swifts and Hummingbirds), Strigiformes (Owls), Trogoniformes (Trogons), Piciformes (Woodpeckers, Honeyguides, Toucans, Barbets, Jacamars, and Puffbirds), Coraciiformes (Rollers, Kingfishers, Bee-Eaters, Motmots, Todies, Hornbills, Hoopoes, Woodhoopoes, and Scimitarbills), Coliiformes (Mousebirds), Psittaciformes (Parrots), and Passeriformes (Passerines), birds are in fact split into four major lineages, which are the superorders Palaeognathae, Palaeoaves, Aequornithes, and Telluraves, the Palaeognathae superorder is split into the grandorders Tinamimorphae (Tinamous and Fossil Relatives) and Struthionimorphae (Ratites), the tinamous (order Tinamiformes) are the sole extant order of the Tinamimorphae grandorder, while ratites (grandorder Struthionimorphae) are divided into the mirorders Struthionorheae (Holotropical Ratites) for the orders Struthioniformes and Rheiformes and Casuarioapterygae (Oceanian Ratites) for the orders Casuariiformes and Apterygiformes, the Palaeoaves superorder contains the orders Opisthocomiformes, Falconiformes, Galliformes, and Anseriformes, the Aequornithes superorder is split into the grandorders Gruicharadriae, Ciconiopelecanae, and Procellariimorphae, the Gruicharadriae grandorder contains the orders Gruiformes and Charadriiformes, the Ciconiopelecanae grandorder contains the orders Ciconiiformes and Pelecaniformes, and the Procellariimorphae grandorder is divided into the mirorders Procellariae for only the order Procellariiformes, Gaviopodicipedae for the orders Podicipediformes and Gaviiformes, and Phoenicopterospheniscae for the orders Phoenicopteriformes and Sphenisciformes, and the Telluraves superorder is split into the grandorders Columbimorphae, Furitivornithes, and Coraciopasserea, the Columbimorphae grandorder contains the orders Pteroclidiformes and Columbiformes, the Furitivornithes grandorder contains the orders Cuculiformes, Caprimulgiformes, Apodiformes, and Strigiformes, and the Coraciopasserea grandorder is divided into the mirorders Coraciimorphae for the orders Trogoniformes, Piciformes, and Coraciiformes and Passerimorphae for the orders Coliiformes, Psittaciformes, and Passeriformes.
