Phylogenetic and coalescent analysis of three loci suggest that the Water Rail is divisible into two species, <it>Rallus aquaticus </it>and <it>R. indicus</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Water Rails (<it>Rallus aquaticus</it>) inhabit fragmented freshwater wetlands across their Palearctic distribution. Disjunct populations are now thought to be morphologically similar over their vast geographic range, tho...
