Clade of birds
Eucavitaves is a clade that contains the order Trogoniformes (trogons) and the clade Picocoraciae (a large assemblage of birds that includes woodpeckers , kingfishers , hornbills and hoopoes ).[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] The group was defined in the PhyloCode by George Sangster and colleagues in 2022 as "the least inclusive crown clade containing Trogon viridis and Picus viridis ".[ 7] The name refers to the fact that the majority of them nest in cavities.
