Chromosomal Diversity and Karyotype Evolution in South American Macaws (Psittaciformes, Psittacidae).
Most species of macaws, which represent the largest species of Neotropical Psittacidae, characterized by their long tails and exuberant colours, are endangered, mainly because of hunting, illegal trade and habitat destruction. Long tailed species seem to represent a monophyletic group within Psittac...
