The neotropics is a mega diverse region. The origin of such richness may be related to the geologic and climatic changes that occurred through time and its conservation depends on combined efforts. Birds comprise one of the most diverse groups of neotropical animals. Their endemism patterns and the association between the systematic and biogeographic relationships are appropriate for hist…
We intend to study, by means of DNA techniques (sequencing, RFLPs analysis and microsatellites) some of the most threatened families of birds (Psittacidae, Cracidae, Rhamphastidae) with the following aims: estimate the genetic variability in order to identify populations at risk; study the phylogenetic relationships among the genera of each of the studied families in order to identify the…
