Aquaterraves

Hypothetical clade of neoavian birds

Aquaterraves is a proposed clade of birds, located at the base of the neoavian radiation as sister to Telluraves. The 2024 study that recovered the clade found it to include two strongly supported branches, Aequorlitornithes and the newly established Litusilvanae, as well a third branch containing Columbiformes and related taxa that have had an unstable position in previous phylogenomic studies.
