Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 In this study, we used the next-generation sequencing method to obtain mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Numenius minutus Gould 1841 in Scolopacidae, after which we analyzed the structure and phylogeny of the Charadriiformes.

Multilocus perspectives on the monophyly and phylogeny of the order Charadriiformes (Aves)
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background The phylogeny of shorebirds (Aves: Charadriiformes) and their putative sister groups was reconstructed using approximately 5 kilobases of data from three nuclear loci and two mitochondrial genes, and compared to that based on two other nuclear

Evolution of ultraviolet vision in shorebirds (Charadriiformes) [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2009 Diurnal birds belong to one of two classes of colour vision. These are distinguished by the maximum absorbance wavelengths of the SWS1 visual pigment sensitive to violet (VS) and ultraviolet (UVS). Shifts between the classes have been rare events during avian evolution.

Microchromosome BAC-FISH Reveals Different Patterns of Genome Organization in Three Charadriiformes Species [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Microchromosomes, once considered unimportant elements of the genome, represent fundamental building blocks of bird karyotypes. Shorebirds (Charadriiformes) comprise a wide variety of approximately 390 species and are considered a valuable model group ...

The enigmatic monotypic crab plover Dromas ardeola is closely related to pratincoles and coursers (Aves, Charadriiformes, Glareolidae) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010 The phylogenetic placement of the monotypic crab plover Dromas ardeola (Aves, Charadriiformes) remains controversial. Phylogenetic analysis of anatomical and behavioral traits using phenetic and cladistic methods of tree inference have resulted in ...

A comparison of the karyotypes of six species of Charadriiformes
Genome, 1987 The embryonic tissue of three larid species (Larus argentatus, Larus marinus, Rissa tridactyla) and three species of alcids (Uria aalge, Alca torda, Fraterula arctica) were grown in vitro as primary explants to obtain mitotic chromosomes. Chromosomes that were harvested were stained with the fluorescent dye Atebrin. Partial karyotypes and idiograms of

Zootaxa, 2019 A new species, Cherevychnavis umanskae sp. nov., (Aves: Charadriiformes) from the late Miocene of Ukraine is described, and all known fossils of the suborder Charadrii from the Paleogene and Miocene are summarized. The combination of preserved characters allows us to assign the new species to the suborder Charadrii but its more exact systematic ...
