The phylogeny mandala, which is a circular phylogeny with photos or drawings of species, is a suitable way to show visually how the biodiversity has developed in the course of evolution as clarified by the molecular phylogenetics. In this article, in order to demonstrate the recent progress of avian molecular phylogenetics, six phylogeny mandalas of various taxonomic groups of birds are presented with the lithographs of John Gould's folio bird books; i.e., (1) whole Aves, (2) Passeriformes, (3) Paradisaeidae in Corvoidea (Passeriformes), (4) Meliphagoidea (Passeriformes), (5) Trochili in Apodiformes, and (6) Galliformes.
系统发育曼荼罗是一种带有物种照片或绘图的圆形系统发育图，是一种直观展示生物多样性在分子系统发育学所阐明的进化过程中如何发展的合适方式。在本文中，为了展示鸟类分子系统发育学的最新进展，呈现了六个不同鸟类分类群的系统发育曼荼罗，并配有约翰·古尔德对开本鸟类图鉴的平版印刷品；即，(1) 整个鸟纲，(2) 雀形目，(3) 鸦总科（雀形目）中的极乐鸟科，(4) 吸蜜鸟总科（雀形目），(5) 雨燕目蜂鸟科，以及(6) 鸡形目。
