Can soomeone explain the duplication between Accipitriformes and Falconiformes? As manifested here Accipitriformes are a subset of Falconiformes. Should it not then appear as Falconiformes/accipitridae and Falconiformes/falconidae?

If I go in and add an entry for a new world vulture or condor, I want to be sure that it can be found under both headers for Cathartidae.

  2. You may want to go to Wikipedia's articles on Accipitriformes and Falconiformes for concise answers. The short answer is that the whole Aves tree is in a state of flux. - UtherSRG 20:43, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
