| the origin and phylogenetic relationships of the new zealand ravens. | the relationships of the extinct new zealand ravens (corvus spp.) are poorly understood. we sequenced the mitogenomes of the two currently recognised species and found they were sister-taxa to a clade comprising the australian raven, little raven, and forest raven (c.coronoides, c. mellori and c. tasmanicus respectively). the divergence between the new zealand ravens and australian raven clade occurred in the latest pliocene, which coincides with the onset of glacial deforestation. we also found ... | 2017 | 27677399 |
