| phylogeny of eagles, old world vultures, and other accipitridae based on nuclear and mitochondrial dna. | we assessed phylogenetic relationships for birds of prey in the family accipitridae using molecular sequence from two mitochondrial genes (1047 bases nd2 and 1041 bases cyt-b) and one nuclear intron (1074 bases beta-fibrinogen intron 7). we sampled representatives of all 14 accipitridae subfamilies, focusing on four subfamilies of eagles (booted eagles, sea eagles, harpy eagles, and snake eagles) and two subfamilies of old world vultures (gypaetinae and aegypiinae) with nearly all known species ... | 2005 | 15925523 |
