Commentaires
Si les relations entre les trois grandes clades d'Oiseaux (Paléognathes, Galloansérés et Néoaves) ne font aucun doute, les relations au sein des Paléognathes et surtout au sein des Néoaves sont notoirement difficiles à établir. Cette phylogénie est une proposition s'appuyant essentiellement sur le consensus. Les taxons suivants ont une position particulièrement fragile : les Casuariiformes, le clade (Phoenicoptériformes, Podicipédiformes), les Caprimulgiformes, les Charadriiformes, les Gruiformes, les Opisthocomiformes et les Suliformes (au sein des Pélécaniformes ?).
