Clades

Hieraves is a clade of telluravian birds named by Wu et al. (2024) that includes the orders Strigiformes (owls), Cathartiformes (New World vultures), and Accipitriformes (hawks and their relatives).[1] In the past, either owls, New World vultures, and hawks were found to be basal outgroups with respect to Coraciimorphae inside Afroaves,[2][3] or Accipitriformes and Cathartiformes were recovered as a basal clade in respect to the rest of the members of Telluraves.[4] Houde and Braun (2019) found support for Hieraves (then unnamed), but they were found to be the sister group to Coraciimorphae and Australaves.[5] The analysis of Wu et al. (2024) has found Hieraves to be the sister clade to Australaves.[1]
