Interspecific patterns of genetic diversity in birds: correlations with extinction risk.

Conservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology - 1 Aug 2008

Evans Simon R, Sheldon Ben C

Abstract excerpt

Birds are frequently used as indicators of ecosystem health and are the most comprehensively studied class in the animal kingdom. Nevertheless, a comprehensive, interspecific assessment of the correlates of avian genetic diversity is lacking, even though indices of genetic diversity are of considerable interest in the conservation of threatened species. We used published data on variation at microsatellite loci...
