Suliformes é uma ordem de aves aquáticas que compreende quatro famílias, e que tradicionalmente pertenciam a ordem Pelecaniformes. Vários estudos filogenéticos de seqüências de genes mitocondriais e nucleares demonstraram que as famílias tradicionalmente colocadas na ordem Pelecaniformes eram parafiléticas em relação a ...

Sulids measure about 60 to 85 cm (24 to 33 in) in length and have a wingspan around 140 to 175 cm (4.59 to 5.74 ft). They have long, narrow, and pointed wings, and a quite long, graduated, and rather lozenge-shaped tail whose outer feathers are shorter than the central ones. Their flight muscles are rather small to allow for the small cross-section...
The sulids are distributed mainly in tropical and subtropical waters, but they, particularly gannets, are found in temperate regions, too. These birds are not truly pelagic seabirds like the related Procellariiformes, and usually stay rather close to the coasts, but the abundant colonies of sulids that exist on many Pacific islands suggest that the...
Sulids are related to a number of other aquatic birds, which all lack external nostrils and a brood patch, but have all four toes webbed and a gular sac. The closest living relatives of the Sulidae are the Phalacrocoracidae (cormorants and shags) and the Anhingidae (darters). The latter are somewhat intermediate between sulids and cormorants, but (...
