The order Suliformes (dubbed “Phalacrocoraciformes” by Christidis & Boles 2008) is an order recognised by the International Ornithologist’s Union. In regard to the recent evidence that the traditional Pelecaniformes is polyphyletic, it has been suggested that the group be split up to reflect the true evolutionary relationships.
