    Gruiformes and Charadriiformes

    Gallinago undulata sister to Coenocorypha I wonder if this position is based on genes or morphology - would be nice to see the supplementary files

    Gruiformes and Charadriiformes

    Still some weird stuff going on Placement of veredus for example seems very unexpected?... so far from leschenaulti and mongola Anyway, good to see work done on Charadrius

    Gruiformes and Charadriiformes

    Most of it seems to make sense. But looking at Scolopacidae... hmm... I'd expect to see some very young sister species in Tringa & Calidris... but nothing there.

    See also Laurent's post here: https://www.birdforum.net/threads/beach-thick-knee.132148/post-1385892 Looks to me the same problem still lingers Pity nothing is available for these, seems the only part that is clear is these need a seperated genus :)

    Yes, this one needs sequencing!

    Given the age of Turnici, Ortyxelos might prove to be a seperate family?

    "Actophilornis" albinucha sister to Microparra capensis However the text says "none of the nodes separating the two species of Actophilornis received a bootstrap support value greater than 50%"

    This is on the edge - I'd keep em seperated Agree with Pedionomus

    Gruiformes and Charadriiformes

    What exactly is Burhinus magnirostris in this study? Based on it's position, I don't think it's Beach Thick-knee (Esacus magnirostris) Bush Thick-knee (Burhinus grallarius, obsolete name Burhinus magnirostris) seems incuded as Burhinus grallarius so ?? edit: Burhinus indicus is missing, so...

    Definitely putting Pluvianellus into Chionidae - even wondering if I should keep it as a subfamily
