| genetic divergence and population demography of the hainan endemic black-throated laughingthrush (aves: timaliidae, garrulax chinensis monachus) and adjacent mainland subspecies. | geographic variation in the black-throated laughingthrush (garrulax chinensis) is examined to infer the influence of pleistocene glacial oscillations on the genetic diversity of its subspecies. mitochondrial evidence suggests that the endemic hainan island taxon, g. c. monachus, is monophyletic, whereas its closest continental relatives, g. c. chinensis and g. c. lochmius, are not. multilocus coalescent analysis based on two mitochondrial and two nuclear intron loci indicates inter-subspecific g ... | 2012 | 22820021 |
