Phylogenetic relationships of waders (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae) in sarawak inferred from cytochrome oxidase i and recombinant activating gene 1

Family Scolopacidae includes the sandpipers, shanks, snipes, godwits and curlews. Systematic classifications of shorebirds at the higher level have been successfully resolved. Nevertheless, the phylogeny of shorebirds in the familial level is still poorly understood. Thus, this phylogenetic study on...
