Abstract excerpt
The Milvus genus presents a taxonomic challenge due to the complex delineation of its evolutionary units. Research on the potentially divergent mitochondrial lineages within Milvus migrans in Pakistan remains sparse, leaving the regional phylogeny largely uncharacterized. This study utilized partial COI gene sequences to evaluate genetic relationships and identify the presence of divergent lineages within...
