研究表明,来自北岛和南岛的新西兰 kākā 鹦鹉拥有共同的遗传学,有助于养护工作。 Study suggests New Zealand's kākā parrots from North and South Islands share common genetics, aiding conservation efforts.

研究人员没有发现新西兰北岛和南岛的Kākā 鹦鹉之间有任何遗传差异,这表明它们可能是以前较多样化物种的一部分。 Researchers found no genetic differences between New Zealand's North and South Island kākā parrots, suggesting they might be part of a formerly more diverse species. 这可以允许更多的鸟类迁移,以增加遗传多样性,支持物种的恢复。 This could allow for more bird relocations to increase genetic diversity and support the species' recovery. 研究人员正在对20 kākā的基因组进行测序,以探索任何独特的差异及其进化历史,有可能利用传统的毛利人知识进行深入了解。 Researchers are sequencing the genomes of 20 kākā to explore any unique differences and their evolutionary history, potentially using traditional Māori knowledge for insights.
