Dale (Martin Dale) 1915 51061997 Phylogeny of the Waxwings and Allied Birds Produced by Chris Curnow, Tom Cosmas, Joseph Cooper, The Internet Archive for some images and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Phylogeny of the Waxwings and Allied Birds" by M. Dale Arvey is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. The work focuses on the evolutionary relationships among the Bombycillidae family of birds, primarily known as waxwings, through a detailed comparative analysis across various biological aspects including coloration, anatomy, and behavior. This study aims to clarify which traits among waxwing species are a result of recent adaptive changes or inherited from ancient lineages. The opening of the publication sets the stage by outlining the author's objective: to explore the relationships within the small family of passerine birds, Bombycillidae, using a comprehensive review of their biological characteristics. It emphasizes the use of anatomical, ecological, and morphological data to discern the origins and adaptations of waxwings, as well as to evaluate the possibility of including other birds within this family. Arvey further discusses previous hypotheses about the geographic origins and ecological adaptations of waxwings, indicating a southern origin likely in northern Mexico, rather than the previously assumed boreal origins. The introduction establishes a framework for the subsequent analytical sections of the publication.
