Comparative genetic diversity of wild and captive populations of the bare-faced curassow (Crax fasciolata) based on cross-species microsatellite markers: implications for conservation and management.

Abstract excerpt

The bare-faced curassow (Crax fasciolata) is a large Neotropical bird that suffers anthropogenic pressure across much of its range. A captive population is maintained for conservation management, although there has been no genetic screening of stocks. Based on the six microsatellite markers developed for Crax globulosa, the genetic variability of C. fasciolata and possible differences between a wild and a captive...
