title: [Chromosome complements of eleven bird species of the orders columbiformes, passeriformes and tinamiformes (author's transl)].
abstract: The chromosome complements of 11 species of birds from the Columbiformes, Passeriformes and Tinamiformes Orders are described. Their karyotypes' evolution are discussed and pericentric inversions, centric fissions and/or fusions seem to have been of great importance. Banding patterns in the several Orders will be of great importance to know better the mechanisms of chromosomal evolution.
