| molecular phylogenetics of monarch flycatchers (genus monarcha) with emphasis on solomon island endemics. | systematic relationships among monarch flycatchers (genus monarcha) are poorly understood despite dramatic patterns of morphological differentiation that have long attracted the attention of evolutionary biologists. with sequence data from the mitochondrial nd2 gene and control region, we produced a phylogenetic hypothesis for evolutionary relationships within monarcha and among the biogeographically complex solomon island endemics. outgroup analyses contradicted monophyly of the genus by imbedd ... | 2005 | 16291094 |
