| toward a resolution of a taxonomic enigma: first genetic analyses of paradoxornis webbianus and paradoxornis alphonsianus (aves: paradoxornithidae) from china and italy. | paradoxornis webbianus and paradoxornis alphonsianus naturally occur in south-east asia. due to a recent introduction, a mixed population currently occurs in northern italy. a preliminary phylogeographic analysis using samples from italy and china found little genetic differentiation between the two taxa and revealed the existence of two molecular lineages, sympatric in some part of china, that do not correspond to the morphological classification. possible taxonomic changes and preliminary infe ... | 2010 | 20884363 |
