familia CATHARTIDAE cambia de Accipitriformes a CATHARTIFORMES 57th Supplement: Auk 2016

Order CATHARTIFORMES: New World Vultures
Notes.—Phylogenomic analyses of nuclear and mitochondrial
DNA sequences have shown that the Cathartidae
are sister to the rest of the Accipitriformes and that
they are as old as or older than other lineages recognized
as orders (Jarvis et al. 2014, Prum et al. 2015). Formerly
treated as a family within the Accipitriformes (Chesser et
al. 2010), Falconiformes sensu lato (Banks et al. 2007), or
Ciconiiformes (AOU 1998).
Move the heading Family CATHARTIDAE: New World
Vultures and the genus and species accounts included under
this heading to a position following this newly inserted order,
and delete the Notes under Cathartidae.
