The earliest
The neognaths have fused
Taxonomy and systematics
Neognathae was long
Neognathae is now universally accepted to subdivide into two lineages, the "fowl" clade
Systematics
The orders are arranged in a sequence that attempts to follow the modern view on neognath
Neognathia
Feduccia defined the clade Neognathia as birds whose palatal mobility increased due to the following modifications (Feduccia 1980, 1996):
- Loss of the cranium.
- Development of a pterygoid/palatine joint.
- Reduction of the vomer, such that it does not reach caudally to the pterygoid, or is lost entirely.
