The nuclear DNA content was evaluated in 48 species of Neognathae birds belonging to 13 orders, namely Anseriformes, Charadriiformes, Columbiformes, Ciconiiformes, Falconiformes, Galliformes, Gruiformes, Passeriformes, Pelicaniformes, Phoenicopteriformes, Piciformes, Psittaciformes and Strigiformes. The DNA content, expressed in pg/nucleus, ranges from 2.81 to 4.97. The genome size variability within and among families is discussed on the basis of the Hinegardner's (1976) model of genome evolution.
对隶属于13个目的48种新颚类鸟类的核DNA含量进行了评估，这13个目分别为雁形目、鸻形目、鸽形目、鹳形目、隼形目、鸡形目、鹤形目、雀形目、鹈形目、红鹳目、鴷形目、鹦形目和鸮形目。以皮克/细胞核表示的DNA含量在2.81至4.97之间。基于海因加德纳（1976年）的基因组进化模型，讨论了科内和科间的基因组大小变异性。
