Figure 2. From: mtDNA from fossils reveals a radiation of Hawaiian geese recently derived from the Canada goose (Branta canadensis).

Skulls and mandibles in lateral view. (a) B. canadensis maxima (USNM 555497); (b) giant Hawaii goose (BPBM 179440); (c) B. hylobadistes (BPBM PPBH7); (d) B. sandvicensis (USNM 557998). The length of the giant Hawaii goose skull (b) is 127.6 mm.

Figure 1. From: mtDNA from fossils reveals a radiation of Hawaiian geese recently derived from the Canada goose (Branta canadensis).

A map of the main Hawaiian Islands with skulls of two moa-nalos (a, Chelychelynechen quassus; b, Thambetochen chauliodous) and the three Hawaiian geese evaluated in this study [B. sandvicensis (nene), B. hylobadistes (nene-nui), and the undescribed giant Hawaii goose]. Fossils of the giant Hawaii goose have been found only on the island of Hawaii (, ). Moa-nalos were found only on the older islands from Maui to Kauai (). Arrows show that the nene, B. sandvicensis, and nene-like (B. hylobadistes and relatives) geese were widely distributed among the main islands.

Figure 4. From: mtDNA from fossils reveals a radiation of Hawaiian geese recently derived from the Canada goose (Branta canadensis).

One of the two maximum parsimony (MP) phylograms found by using a heuristic search of 1,348 mitochondrial DNA sites in 20 taxa of true geese (Anserini). Group frequencies from a 1,000-replicate bootstrap (below branch) and Bremer decay indices (above branch) are indicated. Parenthetical numbers following taxon names indicate the number of individuals sequenced. Unweighted analysis tree statistics are: tree length = 529 steps, consistency index = 0.70, retention index = 0.85, and rescaled consistency index = 0.60. Support is strong in the MP analysis for a monophyletic Hawaiian clade arising from within the Canada goose and as sister taxon to the large-bodied subspecies (B. c. occidentalis and B. c. maxima). Maximum likelihood (ML) and minimum evolution (ME) analyses generally produced identical or nearly identical topologies (see Phylogenetic Inference).
