Both clades sum approximately 10,000 species of which 60% are Passeriformes (the most diverse clade of terrestrial vertebrates). A comparison between the past and the present reveals a complex and hallmarked evolutionary and biogeographic history which would have begun over 65 million years ago. For South America (SA) this includes: (1) the presence of taxa with uncertain affinities and the absence of Passeriformes during the Paleogene; (2) a progressive and accelerated increase of the species starting at the Neogene (Miocene); (3) important extinct lineages (e.g. Phorusrhacidae, Teratornithidae) that migrate to North America after the rising of the Panamá isthmus; (4) groups with major diversification in the Neogene that survives nowadays represented by scarce species endemic of SA (Cariamidae) or that inhabits mainly in the southern hemisphere (Anhingidae); (5) very diverse living groups with scarce (e.g., Passeriformes) or none (e.g., Apodiformes) fossil record in SA, which stem-groups are registered in Euro | | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | | 关键词 | Antarctica; Aves; Cenozoic; South America; South American birds; avian biodiversity; paleobiogeography; Sys | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-5467-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-5466-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-5467-6Series ISSN 2191-589X Series E-ISSN 2191-5903 | | issn_series | 2191-589X | | copyright | The Author(s) 2013 |
