Passerea is a clade of neoavian birds that was proposed by Jarvis et al. (2014).[2] Their genomic analysis recovered two major clades within Neoaves, Passerea and Columbea, and concluded that both clades appear to have many ecologically driven convergent traits.

Passerea
Temporal range: Early Paleocene–Holocene 62–0 Ma Possible an early origin based on molecular clock[1]
Beautiful firetail (Stagonopleura bella)

Clades

According to Jarvis (2014), these convergences include the foot-propelled diving trait of grebes in Columbea with loons and cormorants in Passerea; the wading-feeding trait of flamingos in Columbea with ibises and egrets in Passerea; and pigeons and sandgrouse in Columbea with shorebirds (killdeer) in Passerea. For Jarvis (2014), these long-known trait and morphological alliances suggest that some of the traditional nongenomic trait classifications are based on polyphyletic assemblages.

Passerea was not recovered in other studies.[3][1]

Phylogeny

Cladogram of Passerea relationships based on Jarvis et al. (2014)[2] with some clade names after Yuri et al. (2013)[4] and Kimball et al. 2013.[5]

 Telluraves 

The following cladogram illustrates the proposed relationships between bird clades of Passerea. This consensus phylogeny of birds is based on phylogenomic data, reflecting a recent phylogenomic supertree analysis[6] and modified after two recent more recent phylogenomic studies.[7][1]
