         <description><![CDATA[The Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius) is a widespread Paleartic species which includes 33-35 more or less differentiated subspecies.&nbsp;A study by Akimova et al. (2007) unraveled the relationships between these subspecies.

         <description><![CDATA[While working on this site, I realized that there are numerous bird species nobody knows.&nbsp;We are all familier with the local species and birds regularly shown in documentaries. But there is a huge variety of bird species (over 10,000 species).
So, occasionally I will randomly pick a species and discuss its place in the evolutionary tree. Enjoy!

	The website has been silent for some time now and I do not know if I will find the time to complete it. Next month I will start my PhD in Wageningen on White-fronted Geese. Hopefully I can find some time to work on this site.

Abstract.The fowls (Anseriformes and Galliformes) comprise one of the major lineages of birds and&#160;occupy almost all biogeographical regions of the world. The group contains the most&#160;economically important of all bird species, each with a long history of domestication, and is an&#160;ideal model for studying...]]></description>

Abstract. We produced DNA sequence data from two mitochondrial genes (cytochrome b&#160;and the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2) to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships&#160;among 121 species of the Anseriformes (waterfowls including ducks, geese,&#160;swans, the magpie goose and screamers)....]]></description>

So I will give a "short" overview of all the families and their relations. Each family will be introduced with some additional information and the taxonomy. Once that is done, I will put articles online concerning the phylogeny of the modern birds.&#160;

         <description><![CDATA[Dear visitor,
this site is dedicated to the phylogeny of modern birds.&nbsp;Since Darwin wrote his famous On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, we know that all living things on this planet are related.&nbsp;Before this, people tried to classify the world around them. This has led to some beautiful collections and databases.&nbsp;But much of the classifications were artificial, based on morphological characters.&nbsp;Now that we know that&nbsp;all species fit into a "tree of...]]></description>
