Comparing the genetic diversity of two threatened <i>Rhyticeros</i> hornbill species with contrasting geographic range sizes
2025-10-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Island endemics exhibit low genetic diversity due to founder effects and geographical isolation, increasing their vulnerability to inbreeding depression. The Narcondam Hornbill ( Rhyticeros narcondami ), restricted to the 6.8 km 2 Narcondam island in the Andaman archipelago, has the smallest range size among hornbills, a globally threatened group of birds. We compared the genetic diversity of...
