Chromosomal phylogeny generated by PAUP, with chromosomal rearrangements as a posteriori polarized characters. Among 59 chromosome changes, 38 corresponded to syntenic associations, 15 were syntenic disruptions and 3 represented convergent or reversal events. Characters 22, 41 and 42 were not mapped onto the tree due to the ambiguities regarding their interpretation (see text for details). Numbers on the tree stand for chromosome characters that are described in Table 1. Published chromosome painting data for Falconidae (Nishida et al., [12]), Pandionidae (Nishida et al., [18]), Accipitridae (de Oliveira et al., [10, 16, 19]; Nanda et al., [20]; Nishida et al., [13]), Cathartidae (Raudsepp et al., [34]; Tagliarini et al., [15]) and the data in this study were used for this figure. BBU, Buteo buteo; BME, Buteogallus meridionalis; BNI, Buteo nitida (= Asturina nitida); CAU, Cathartes aura; FCO, Falco columbarius; FPE, Falco peregrinus; FTI, Falco tinnunculus; GBA, Gypaetus barbatus; GCA, Gymnogyps californianus; GFU, Gyps fulvus; GHI, Gyps himalayensis; GRU, Gyps rueppellii; HHA, Harpia harpyja; NNI, Nisaetus nipalensis orientialis; PAL, Pseudastur albicollis (= Leucopternis albicollis); PHA, Pandion haliaetus; RMA, Rupornis magnirostris
