Nuclear DNA sequences detect species limits in ancient moa
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on extinct moa. The authors have investigated the sex of these moa via isolation of single-locus nuclear DNA markers, and have tested the hypotheses about moa taxa specific status, and the results have shown the species' extreme reverse sexual dimorphism.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequences of two extinct moas clarify ratite evolution
Article Abstract:
Research is presented concerning the origins of extinct large, flightless birds known as the ratites. The mitochondrial genome sequence of all extinct flightless birds has been used to determine biogeographical data.
