A simplified version of the phylogeny from Gibson and Baker [2], which was based on the sequences of five genes (RAG1, CYT B, 12S, ND2 and COI) and estimated with partitioned Bayesian analysis for suborder Scolopaci. According to the authors, “all nodes received a posterior probability of 1.00 unless otherwise labeled”. In the partial phylogeny here shown, the only node that has a posterior probability lower than 1.00 is the one that split Actitis from Tringa (0.71). Diploid numbers from literature (Table 1); karyotypes analyzed by FISH are shown in red. PAK fusions* = (4 + 3), (3 + 4), (2 + 5), (2 + 8), (7 + 3), (5 + micros), according to Kretschmer et al. [8].
