 A PARTIAL CLASSIFICATION OF WATERFOWL (ANATIDAE) BASED ON SINGLE-COPY DNA
When the Bar-headed Goose tracer DNA was hybridized to the White-faced Whistling-Duck driver DNA, the average ZTm was 5.9 (n = 2, SD = 0.14).
The overall ZTm av- erages for the tracer DNAs of the Bar-headed Goose and White-faced Whistling-Duck were 5.9 (n = 3, SD = 0.10) and 7.7 (n = 3, SD = 0.38).
We believe that the Orino- co Goose (Tadornini) and the Bar-headed Goose are only remotely related, and that their mor- phological and behavioral similarity is the re- sult of convergent evolution (Delacour and Mayr 1945, Johnsgard 1961).
