DNA barcoding a unique avifauna: an important tool for evolution, systematics and conservation
2019
Background
DNA barcodingutilises a standardised region of the
cytochrome c oxidaseI (COI) gene to identify specimens to the species level. It has proven to be an effective tool for identification of avian samples. The unique island avifauna of
New Zealandis taxonomically and evolutionarily distinct. We analysed COI sequence data in order to determine if
DNA barcodingcould accurately identify
New Zealandbirds.
