Corvida

I've removed mention of the parvorder Corvida as the family Petroicidae is not a member of the parvorder Corvida. Although the HANZAB article on Petroicidae (Vol 6 p.53) places Petroicidae in the parvorder Corvida superfamily Corvoidea, this appears to no longer be accepted.

H&M4 (Dickinson and Christidis 2014) Vol 2 p.xxxvii places Petroicidae in its own parvorder Petroicida in the infraorder Passerides. This is placement is supported by the results of Oliveros et al 2019 who include a large well supported phylogenetic tree of the Passeriformes. Petroicidae is included in the cladogram near the top of Fig 2 on page 7919. It is a member of the infraorder Passerides and not the infraorder Corvides. In the figure no parvorder is named for Petroicidae.

The Wiki articles on the higher taxonomy of birds are often very dated with too much emphasis on the Sibley–Ahlquist classification based on DNA hybidization. This is now only of historical importance. Aa77zz (talk) 10:47, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

More housekeeping then. Must get up to speed on this. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:30, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
