plesiomorphic traits.[4][5][6]

Gruae

Opisthocomiformes (hoatzin)

Gruimorphae

Gruiformes (rails and cranes)

Charadriiformes (shorebirds)

According to Suh et al. (2016), one of the problems with the conclusions about this novel clade is that independent studies (like Jarvis et al. 2014 and Prum et al. 2015)[7][4] found very dissimilar phylogenetic relationships (like Inopinaves) using the same probabilistic support, such bootstrap scores and Bayesian posterior probabilities.[8]
