More taxa, more characters: the hoatzin problem is still unresolved.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2003

Sorenson Michael D, Oneal Elen, Garcia-Moreno Jaime, Mindell David P

Abstract excerpt

The apparently rapid and ancient diversification of many avian orders complicates the resolution of their relationships using molecular data. Recent studies based on complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences or shorter lengths of nuclear sequence have helped corroborate the basic structure of the avian tree (e.g., a basal split between Paleognathae and Neognathae) but have made relatively little progress in...
