Ancient DNA Analyses Reveal Contrasting Phylogeographic Patterns amongst Kiwi (Apteryx spp.) and a Recently Extinct Lineage of Spotted Kiwi
The little spotted kiwi (Apteryx owenii) is a flightless ratite formerly found throughout New Zealand but now greatly reduced in distribution. Previous phylogeographic studies of the related brown kiwi (A. mantelli, A. rowi and A. australis), with which little spotted kiwi was once sympatric, revealed extremely high levels of genetic structuring, with mitochondrial DNA haplotypes often restrict...
متن کاملGenetic variation, systematics and management of kiwi (Apteryx spp.)
Kiwi (Apteryx: Struthioniformes) are a family of ratite birds confined entirely to New Zealand. Since 1813, at least ten species have been described. Recent taxonomy has accepted three species: A. owenii (little spotted kiwi), A. haastii (great spotted kiwi) and A. australis (brown kiwi). Apteryx australis has three subspecies: A. a. australis (South Island); A. a. mantelli (North Island); and ...
متن کاملIncubation behaviour and egg physiology of kiwi (Apteryx spp.) in natural habitats
Incubation behaviour varies among the different taxa of kiwi. For North Island brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) and little spotted kiwi (A. owenii), only the male incubates the eggs, except for in the first week. Meanwhile, for Okarito brown kiwi (A. mantelli) and the tokoeka (A. australis), incubation is shared by both sexes. In addition, amongst southern tokoeka, family group members can assist ...
