Antarctoboenus carlinii nov. gen. nov. sp. is a large-sized falconiform bird from the La Meseta Formation (Lower Eocene) at Seymour (Marambio) Island, West Antarctica. The holotypical tarsometatarsus was originally assigned to Falconidae and its affinities to Polyborinae were pointed out. Detailed osteological and comparative analyses of the Antarctic specimen allowed recognition of the new taxon as a member of stem group Falconidae, i.e. it is supposed to belong to the early radiation of the…

New fossils from the London Clay show that the Eocene Masillaraptoridae are stem group representatives of falcons (Aves, Falconiformes)
TLDR
Fossils from the London Clay of Walton-on-the-Naze are described, which corroborate the hypothesis that masillaraptorids are stem group representatives of the Falconiformes (falcons).

Phylogeny and Taxonomy of the Patagonian Miocene Falcon Thegornis musculosus Ameghino, 1895 (Aves: Falconidae)
TLDR
The ecotonal margins produced by the vanishing of humid forests that developed during changes in Patagonian plant communities throughout early Neogene times are hypothesized as a plausible scenario to understand the evolution of this basal clade of falcons.
A new raptorial bird from the Middle Eocene of Messel, Germany
TLDR
Three different published phylogenies of the extant taxa are used as “backbone” phylogenies to determine the relationships of the new taxon by minimising the amount of homoplasy in the phylogenetically informative characters visible in the two known specimens.
A falconid from the Late Miocene of northwestern China yields further evidence of transition in Late Neogene steppe communities
ABSTRACT Although the family Falconidae, which includes extant falcons and caracaras, has a long evolutionary history, most previously reported fossils referred to this family are isolated single…
Antarctic birds (Neornithes) during the Cretaceous-Eocene times
TLDR
There is not available evidence about Antarctic penguins' evolution after the end of the Eocene, but the discovery of a ratite and a phororhacids from the uppermost levels of the Submeseta Allomember (Late Eocene), suggests that West Antarctica was functional to dispersal routes obligate terrestrial birds.
Pliocene diversification within the South American Forest falcons (Falconidae: Micrastur).
Molecular systematics of the caracaras and allies (Falconidae: Polyborinae) inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data
TLDR
Divergence time analyses revealed that the Polyborinae started to diversify in the Miocene, at about 14 Ma, and that the generalist ⁄scavenger behaviour in the Falconidae appeared between 14 and 6.6 Ma.

A new species of penguin (Spheniscidae: Spheniscus) and other birds from the late Pliocene of Chile
TLDR
