Phylogeny and evolution of the auks (subfamily Alcinae) based on mitochondrial DNA sequences.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 16 Aug 1994

Moum T, Johansen S, Erikstad K E, Piatt J F

Abstract excerpt

The genetic divergence and phylogeny of the auks was assessed by mitochondrial DNA sequence comparisons in a study using 19 of the 22 auk species and two outgroup representatives. We compared more than 500 nucleotides from each of two mitochondrial genes encoding 12S rRNA and the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6. Divergence times were estimated from transversional substitutions. The dovekie (Alle alle) is related to...
