Important game populations such as white-tailed deer and several Galliformes have also had a chance to recover and expand their populations.

More recently, it has become clear that the Anseriformes (waterfowl) and the Galliformes are the most ancient groups of modern birds.

The Pteroclididae was formerly included in the Galliformes due to the similarities the family shares with the true grouse.
