| Summary: | Phylogeny of birds in the family Sturnidae (starlings and mynas) has always been an intriguing topic about their
relationship and genetic distances among the species within the family. The species were collected within
Sarawak. The mitochondrial DNA used in this study is Cytochrome Oxidase subunit 1 (COI). The phylogenetic
trees of the family Sturnidae were constructed by using Bayesian analysis, Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Parsimony and Neighbour-Joining methods. The genetic distances were determined by using Kimura twoparameter and Bootstrap analysis in the relationships among the species within the family Sturnidae. |
