CHROMOSOMAL EVOLUTION IN THE PHYLOGENETIC CONTEXT: A REMARKABLE KARYOTYPE REORGANIZATION IN NEOTROPICAL PARROT MYIOPSITTA MONACHUS (PSITTACIDAE)

Chromosomal Evolution in the Phylogenetic Context: A Remarkable Karyotype Reorganization in Neotropical Parrot Myiopsitta monachus (Psittacidae)

Myiopsitta monachus is a small Neotropical parrot (Psittaciformes: Arini Tribe) from subtropical and temperate regions of South America.It has a General Wound Care - Tapes and Fasteners diploid chromosome number 2n = 48, different from other members of the Arini Tribe that have usually 70 chromosomes.The species has the lowest 2n within the Arini T
