Columbimorphae

Columbimorphae is a clade discovered by genome analysis that includes birds of the orders Columbiformes (pigeons and doves), Pterocliformes (sandgrouse), and Mesitornithiformes (mesites).[1][2] Previous analyses had also recovered this grouping,[3][4][5] although the exact relationships differed. Some studies indicated a sister relationship between sandgrouse and pigeons (the traditional view)[4][6][7] while other studies favored a sister grouping of mesites and sandgrouse instead.[5]
