The Phylogeny and Classification of Birds:

A Study in Molecular Evolution
Front Cover
0 Reviews
YALE University Press, 1990 - Nature - 976 pages
This book presents the results of a study of the evolutionary history and classification of living birds based on comparisons of the DNA (genetic material) of about 1700 species. Sibley and Ahlquist's 'DNA-DNA hybridization' technique is a biochemical method that measures the degree of genetic similarity between the DNA of different species. This method has been applied to studies of other groups of organisms, but this book includes the largest set of DNA comparisons for any group.
