| comparative phylogeography and genetic structure of vanuatu birds: control region variation in a rail, a dove, and a passerine. | we examined variation in mitochondrial control region (domain i) sequences in three distantly related species of birds found on multiple islands in vanuatu: the buff-banded rail gallirallus philippensis (n=21, 433bp), the emerald dove chalcophaps indica (n=21, 513bp), and the streaked fantail rhipidura spilodera (n=17, 326bp). nucleotide and haplotype diversity were similar in all three species and showed little to no geographic structure within vanuatu. estimates of demographic parameters, test ... | 2007 | 17321760 |
