Phylogeny of Birds (Nature)

Here’s a summary diagram of the article in Nature on “A comprehensive phylogeny of birds (Aves) using targeted next-generation DNA sequencing“. Obviously this has substantial implications for my classification pages, and together with other, more recent sources, I have tried as best as possible to reflect the latest consensus (see also Phylogeny of Birds (Science) and Phylogeny of Neoaves (MDPI)).
