PASSERIFORMES
The SAM comparison pages compare the current TiF checklist with the modified Sibley-Ahlquist-Monroe list from Gill (1995). This helps show the changes that have taken place.
On the left-hand side, new taxa are shown in blue. On the right-hand side, taxa that are lost are in red, while taxa that are gained are in blue. Other annotations are in green.
