Telluraves (also called land birds or core landbirds) is a recently defined[1] clade of birds with controversial content. Based on most recent genetic studies, the clade unites a variety of bird groups, including the australavians (passerines, parrots, seriamas, and falcons) as well as the afroavians (including raptors and woodpeckers).[2][3] They appear to be the sister group of a newly defined clade centered on Aequornithes.[4]
Given that the two most basal branches of both Afroaves and Australaves are predatory, it is inferred that the common ancestor of Telluraves was an apex predator.[4]
