| mitochondrial control region i and microsatellite analyses of endangered philippine hornbill species (aves; bucerotidae) detect gene flow between island populations and genetic diversity loss. | the visayan tarictic hornbill (penelopides panini) and the walden's hornbill (aceros waldeni) are two threatened hornbill species endemic to the western islands of the visayas that constitute - between luzon and mindanao - the central island group of the philippine archipelago. in order to evaluate their genetic diversity and to support efforts towards their conservation, we analyzed genetic variation in ~ 600 base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrial control region i and at 12-19 nuclear microsatell ... | 2012 | 23057730 |
