A comparison of the karyotypes of six species of Charadriiformes
The embryonic tissue of three larid species (Larus argentatus, Larus marinus, Rissa tridactyla) and three species of alcids (Uria aalge, Alca torda, Fraterula arctica) were grown in vitro as primary explants to obtain mitotic chromosomes. Chromosomes that were harvested were stained with the fluores...
