Aequornithes (

Phalacrocoracidae".[3]

The

phylogenetic studies.[7][8][9][10]

Aequornithes includes the

gulls, and auks (Charadriiformes), or the Anseriformes
(waterfowl).

Based on a whole-genome analysis of the bird orders, the kagu and sunbittern (Eurypygiformes) and the three species of tropicbirds (Phaethontiformes) together styled as the Eurypygimorphae are the closest sister group of the Aequornithes,[6] in a clade later named Phaethoquornithes.[11]
