| Abstract | The tree of life is a powerful tool for understanding evolution that can also be used for research on medicine, wildlife management, and agriculture. However, recent studies indicate that genes transferred between species can make it difficult for scientists to build an accurate evolutionary tree or understand the relationships between species. This project will use parrots, one of the most endangered and illegally trafficked groups of animals, to better understand how often species transfer gen |
