Blood sample from adult female Oxyura jamaicensis (SampleID: SHBPG3250). The ruddy duck (family Anatidae) is native to North America. This project contributes to a broader effort to compare genome evolution in all seven brood parasitic clades among birds, and to test the prediction that the evolution of brood parasitism (and loss of parental care behavior) results in genome-wide signatures of molecular convergence and/or convergent changes in coding and/or regulatory regions associated with particular genetic pathways or functions. The focal species for this project is the brood parasitic black-headed duck (Hetronetta atricapilla), which is compared to representatives of three closely related genera: African pygmy goose (Nettapus auratus), ruddy duck (Oxyura jamaicensis), and freckled duck (Stictonetta naevosa). Contributed by the Brood Parasitic Bird Genomes Consortium.
