The group contains the most economically important of all bird species, each with a long history of domestication, and is an ideal model for studying ecological and evolutionary patterns. Yet, despite both the socio-economic and biological importance of fowls, the species-level relationships within this clade remain controversial. Here we used the supertree method matrix representation with parsimony to generate a robust estimate of species-level relationships of fowls. The supertree represents one of the most comprehensive estimates for the group to date, including 376 species (83.2 % of all species; all 162 Anseriformes and 214 Galliformes) and all but one genus. The supertree was well-resolved (81.1} }
