Familia Laridarum (nomine Laridia) a Constantino Samuele Rafinesque, polymathe Francico, anno 1815 introducta est.[1][2] Quae familia olim solum laros comprehendebat, cum sterninae in Sternidas rhyncopesque in Rynchopidas, suas familias proprias, digerentur,[3]anois eodem tempore in Sternidas digestis. Anno autem 1990, Carolus Sibley et Ionatan Ahlquist speciesalcidarum et stercorarii in Laridas, familiam latiorem, digesserunt.[4]
Studium moleculare phylogeneticum a Baker, Pereira, et Paton anno 2007 divulgatum asseruit aves generis Anoi gregem sororium cladi qui laros, rhyncopes, aliosque sternos comprehendit constituere.[5] Ad gregem familiarem monophyleticum constituendam, familiam Laridarum amplificavit, ut nova familia quaedam genera olim in Sternidas Rynchopidasque digesta comprehenderet.[6][7]
Baker et socii invenierunt stirpem laridarum ex stirpe decessisse ex qua StercorariidaeAlcidaeque ortae erant, ante Cretaceum finitum per aevum dinosaurorum. Etiam invenierunt liridas ipsas Palaeocaeno ineunte abhinc annorum 60 milliones fere crescere coepisse.[8] Geraldus Mayr, palaeontologusGermanus, haec tempora dubitans, subiecit fossilia non idonea inter data molecularia adhibita fuisse. Prima charadriiformium fossilia solum ex Eocaeno exeunte exstant, abhinc annorum 35 milliones fere.[9]
Andreas Ödeen et socii, evolutionem facultatis visusradiationis ultraviolaceae in avibus litoralibus investigantes, genum SWS1 opsin in variis speciebus perscrutabantur, quia lari fuerant solae aves litorales qui hanc proprietatem nactae erant. Invenierunt hoc genum adesse in stirpibus larorum, rynchopum, et anoorum, sed non in stirpe sterninarum. Praeterea, probaverunt anoos esse unam ex primis stirpibus; indicia autem non validiora videntur.[10]
Laridae per omnem tellurem inveniuntur, partim accommodationis causa. Plurimae multo aerialiores quam maiores sunt, qui ut videntur erant aves litorales.[11]
