1980 G. Pizzey Field Guide Birds Austral. 398 Australian mud-nesters. Family Corcoracidae. Dissimilar in many ways from magpie ducks: markings not bold, plumage rather soft.

1992 Austral. Jrnl. Zool. 40 173 The phylogenetic relationships of the genera of Australasian mud-nesters (Corcorax, Struthidea and Grallina) were examined.

1993 Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 90 5705/1 Construction of mud nests originated only once in the history of the group [sc. Hirundinidae], and mud-nesters have diversified principally in Africa, where a drier climatic history has favored their mode of nesting.
