3.2 Analysis of genetic diversity
Overall we find an elevated genetic diversity (π) within exon 3 alleles repertoire among individuals of Turdus atrogularis was (0.151) than Turdus enumus (0.113). The average number of nucleotides difference (K ) varied between (43.95) in Turdus atrogularis to ( 32.32) in Turdus eunomus.
