Abstract
In order to resolve ambiguities at interspecific levels, supertrees are used by taxonomist as a combining method in large scale to reconstruct the phylogenies. In this study we construscted a unique supertree comprising peresent molecular data of mitochondrial and nuclear sequences from Genbank and Ferdowsi university of Mashhad lab datasets. This study was executed on the Matrix Representation with Parsimony (MRP) with 15 recently published source trees for 166 bird species of Muscicapidae. The Muscicapidae supertree had two main clades and in total, about 82% of the nodes were resolved completely. Duo to relative resolve in supertree nodes and clades arrengment according to recent molecular results with different mitochondrial and nuclear genes, final supertree has not a certain result for Muscicapidae relationships it might confirm recent surveys. In fact, this method beside comparative taxonomy using primary data from molecular and morphological analysis, could lead to the most reasonable taxonomic relashionships among Flycatchers taxa.
