Familia: Sulidae
| Nombre: | Sulidae |
| Orden: | Suliformes |
| detalle: | Alcatraces, Piqueros |
| Taxonomia: | Se ha demostrado que las familias que tradicionalmente se englobaban dentro de Pelecaniformes no tenÃÂan un ancestro común. ParecerÃÂa ser que esto si ocurre dentro de un grupo que incluye Sulidae, Phalacrocoracidae, Anhingidae, y Fregatidae. Estas familias han sido quitadas de Pelecaniformes y colocadas dentro del orden Suliformes.
1. The families in this order are traiditonally included in the Pelecaniformes, but genetic data inicate that that traditional group is not monophyletic; see Note 1 under Pelecaniforms. Support is strong, however, for the monophyly of a group that includes Sulidae, Phalacrocoracidae, Anhingidae, and Fregatidae (Sibley & Ahlquist 1990, Harshman 1994, Cracraft et al. 2004, Fain & Houde 2004, Kennedy & Spencer 2004, Ericson et al. 2006, Hackett et al. 2008). Chesser at al. (2010) removed Sulidae, Phalacrocoracidae, Anhingidae, and Fregatidae from the Pelecaniformes and placed them in their own new order, Suliformes. SACC proposal passed to remove these from Pelecaniformes and place in their own order. |
