the Chilean birds, the sequences of the two greater flamingo subspecies were identical
and the number of nonconserved nucleotides appears to be higher for lesser/greater
comparisons than for Chilean/greater comparisons. This is consistent with Chilean
flamingos being a different species within the same genus as the greater flamingos,
while lesser flamingos belong to a separate genus. Parentage analyses on suggested
African greater flamingo family groups from Disney's Animal Kingdom's collection were
performed using microsatellite data. Results confirmed many suggested family groups
but in other cases one or more of the suggested parents were clearly excluded. The six
microsatellite loci isolated provide a new population management tool useful for both
wild and captive flamingo populations.
