The evolution of birds: an overview of the avian tree of life
Lab Anim (NY).
2004 May.
Abstract
The author provides a general overview of the molecular data used to reconstruct the avian tree of life, summarizes some highlights of the ensuing controversies, and reveals those taxonomic relationships that remain largely unchanged by molecular data.
