Abstract :

<p>The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique based on the polymerase chain reaction has been one of the most commonly used molecular techniques to develop DNA markers. This technique was applied using four primers. The experimental birds of the study include three kingfishers. The highest genetic distance was found between European kingfisher and pied kingfishers (GD = 0.709), and the lowest (GD = 0.65) between white–easted with European kingfishers, on contrary, the highest genetic identity was observed (I = 0.537) between white–easted with European kingfishers and the lowest (I = 0.493) between Pied with European kingfishers. According to these results a dendrogram of phylogenetic relationship, was constructed. It appears that white–easted Kingfisher is the closest to European Kingfisher whereas white–easted kingfisher was the most distant from pied Kingfisher.</p>
