Bank Swallow（R. Riparia）和家燕（Hirundo rustica）的DNA进行了放射性标记，并利用DNA-DNA杂交技术与一系列其他oscine物种的DNA进行了比较。结果表明，燕子与sylviine-timaliine集群共享一个最近的共同祖先，分歧可能发生在约。始新世的5000万年前绣眼鸟（Zosterops）也与燕子-柳莺-穗鹛复合体有关，山雀、小王鸟、球根鸟、胡桃雀、爬山虎、弗伦斯、绿尾莺和捕蚊鸟也是如此。燕鸥-莺-穗鹛组合是燕鸥-莺-穗鹛组合的姐妹群，而蝇莺-鸫组合和乌鸦组合则逐渐疏远。
The single-copy DNA sequences of the Bank Swallow (R. riparia) and the Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) were radio-labeled and compared with the DNAs of an array of other oscine species, using the technique of DNA-DNA hybridization. The results indicate that the swallows shared a most recent common ancestor with the sylviine-timaliine cluster, and that the divergence probably occurred ca. 50 mya, in the Eocene. The white-eyes (Zosterops) are also related to the swallow-warbler-babbler complex, as are the titmice, kinglets, bulbuls, nuthatches, creepers, wrens, verdins, and gnatcatchers. The fringillid-ploceid assemblage is the sister group of the swallow-warbler-babbler assemblage, with the muscicapine-turdine, and the corvine assemblages being progressively more distant.
