There is a "trick" that may be useful to know about figures at ScienceDirect...
The images in the left column of abstract pages are thumbnails, with a .sml extension; they always have an equivalent, larger image file, with a .jpg extension.
Thus, here, if you go to the [abstract], you'll note that the penultimate image in the left column shows what looks like a quite detailed tree.
Put your mouse on this image, right-click and select "View image", "Open image in a new tab", or something similar (I'm not actually sure Explorer gives you this possibility - no Microsoft stuff on my PC).
This will take you here: http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S1055790314002243-gr4.sml
Go to the location bar of your browser and replace the "sml" with "jpg".
This will take you here: http://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S1055790314002243-gr4.jpg


And to answer Nutcracker's question: I haven't seen the paper yet, but the explicit listing of Poecile and Alauda rather than their respective families (or superfamilies) presumably just reflects them being the only members of their groups included in the analysis.

EXCELLENT trick! Thank you!

Note for users of alternate browsers/versions (Firefox here, I forget which update): the 'left column' mentioned in the above instructions may not show by default. If so, click on the icon of 3 green bars near the top left of the page to show the column, then proceed as above.
