The Phaethontiformes / ˌ f eɪ. ɪ ˈ θ ɒ n t ɪ f ɔːr m iː z / are an order of birds. They contain one extant family, the tropicbirds (Phaethontidae), and one extinct family Prophaethontidae from the early Cenozoic. Several fossil genera have been described, with well-preserved fossils known as early as the Paleocene. [2]
Tropicbirds are a family, Phaethontidae, of tropical pelagic seabirds.They are the sole living representatives of the order Phaethontiformes.For many years they were considered part of the Pelecaniformes, but genetics indicates they are most closely related to the Eurypygiformes.

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] The term covers the organism's morphology (physical form and structure), its developmental processes, its biochemical and physiological ...
There are 107 classes of animals in 33 phyla in this list. However, different sources give different numbers of classes and phyla. For example, Protura, Diplura, and Collembola are often considered to be the three orders in the class Entognatha. This list should by no means be considered complete and authoritative and should be used carefully.

In biology, phenetics (/ f ɪ ˈ n ɛ t ɪ k s /; from Ancient Greek φαίνειν (phainein) 'to appear'), also known as taximetrics, is an attempt to classify organisms based on overall similarity, usually with respect to morphology or other observable traits, regardless of their phylogeny or evolutionary relation.
Passerea is a clade of neoavian birds that was proposed by Jarvis et al. (2014). [3] 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.
