Most of these studies have focused on the higher level classification within the family, and now it is necessary to study the relationships between and within genera using a similar approach. Here, we investigated the taxonomic status of the genus Hylocharis , a member of the Emeralds complex, whose relationships with other genera are unclear; we also investigated the existence of the Basilinna genus. We obtained sequences of mitochondrial (ND2: 537 bp) and nuclear genes (AK-5 intron: 535 bp, and c-mos: 572 bp) for 6 of the 8 currently recognized species and outgroups. Our analyses, using 3 different inference methods (Maximun Parsimony, Likelihood and Bayesian methods), corroborate the existence of the hummingbird genus Basilinna as composed of 2 species commonly assigned to the genus Hylocharis : leucotis and xantusii . Our study also supports that Hylocharis is a paraphyletic genus that includes species belonging to the genus Amazilia . 2014 artículo científico 1870-3453 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42532096036 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=425 Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad (México) Num.3 Vol.85 |
