| Abstract: | Background Phenotypic and molecular genetic data often provide conflicting patterns of intraspecific relationships confounding phylogenetic
inference, particularly among birds where a variety of environmental factors may influence plumage characters. Among diurnal
raptors, the taxonomic relationship of Buteo jamaicensis harlani to other B. jamaicensis subspecies has been long debated because of the polytypic nature of the plumage characteristics used in subspecies or species
designations. |
