First Genetically Differentiation between Upupa epops major and Upupa epops epops (Family: Upupidae)
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2022 Hoopoe has been traditionally treated as a single species within the order Coraciiformes. Presently, however, various authors have suggested separating the hoopoe into two or more species and even its order, Bucerotiformes. So, this work aimed to use the
