Study species
Six pink pigeon (Nesoenas mayeri ) individuals from the captive-bred population of Jersey Zoo (n = 4) and Bristol Zoo (n = 2) were genome sequenced. Birds shared common ancestry within the last 3-6 generations (Supplementary Figure S1) and have a high level of relatedness (F=0.064 to 0.346) (Supplementary Table 2), which is typical of many zoo populations . See Supplementary Information for further details.
