The post stimulated some great discussions but not really any additional commentary on the science behind these proposed relationships. Ringer Suh et al. Ringer Suh et al.

campus gardens – the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Centre, located 3 km east of the town of Turrialba. This time I observed them with 10s in bright sunshine, only ten metres above, seeing every detail: enormous lime-green parrots with blue flight feathers and loud, raucous calls!

Several recent studies have found that tinamous are embedded within the ratites, which means that either they regained the ability to fly or (as many researchers feel is more likely) that flightlessness and large body size arose multiple times within the paleognaths, a topic discussed in detail at Tetrapod Zoology.
