Suliformes
Sign in to saveAlso known as Phalacrocoraciformes
The order Suliformes (, dubbed "Phalacrocoraciformes" by Christidis & Boles 2008) is an order of birds that includes gannets, boobies, frigatebirds, cormorants and darters. The order is recognised by the International Ornithologist's Union. Regarding the recent evidence that the traditional Pelecaniformes is polyphyletic, it has been suggested that the group be divided to reflect the true evolutionary relationships; a 2017 study indicated that they are most closely related to Otidiformes (bustards) and Ciconiiformes (storks).

カツオドリ目（かつおどりもく、学名: Suliformes）は、鳥類の目の1つである。ウ目 Phalacrocoraciformes とも呼ぶ。 従来はペリカン目に含められていたが、2000年代後半になって分子系統が判明したことにより分離された。伝統的なペリカン目のうちペリカン科とネッタイチョウ科以外の全て、つまり、6科のうち4科、70種のうち59種が、カツオドリ目に属している。

==Systematics and evolution== Of the families in Pelecaniformes, only Pelecanidae, Balaenicipitidae, and Scopidae remain. The tropicbird family Phaethontidae has since been moved to their order Phaethontiformes. Genetic analysis seems to show that the Pelecaniformes are actually closely related to the Ardeidae and Threskiornithidae. As for the Suliformes, they are distantly related to the current Pelecaniformes. According to Hackett et al. (2008), loons, penguins, storks, and as well as Suliformes and Pelecaniformes, all seem to have evolved from a common ancestor. The proposed waterbird superorder has been suggested.
