Abstract excerpt
The red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) is one of the most endangered cranes in the world, and its wild population is still declining. To characterize the genetic resources of East Asian migratory populations, we studied the genetic variation in wild red-crowned cranes at the Yancheng reserve. Based on a partial Cyt b gene sequence, 32 wild red-crowned crane samples were screened from 100 feathers with unknown...
