> What's the definition of Mirandornithes?

The least inclusive clade comprising _Phoenicopterus ruber_ and_Podiceps 
cristatus_ (node-based).

In: Sangster, G. (2005).  A name for the flamingo--grebe clade. _Ibis_ 
147(3):612-615.

(As an aside, Sangster did not include any external specifiers in this 
definition.  However, Livezey and Zusi (2006) found no close relationship 
between grebes and flamingoes - meaning that [under Sangster's definition] 
Mirandornithes would be equivalent in content to Neoaves!)

Cheers
