10-570: The nuclear β-fibrinogen intron 7 data combined with analyses of vocalizations and morphology . They could be considered subgenera , but one remains unnamed so they are only informally listed here: caribaea /band-tailed group ( Chloroenas ): Characterized by tails with terminal bands and iridescent neck; rows of low single coos. Apparently the most basal group. leucocephala group ( Patagioenas sensu stricto ): Characterized by iridescent neck and dark plumage, or white edged outer wing coverts, or scaly appearance; groups of triple coos with
15-622: The cuckoo-doves ( Macropygia ) of Southeast Asia also seem to be closely related. The genus Patagioenas was introduced by German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1853, with the white-crowned pigeon ( Patagioenas leucocephala ) as the type species . The genus name combines the Ancient Greek patageō meaning "to clatter" and oinas meaning "pigeon". There are 17 species of Patagioenas , which can be assigned to four groups based on mtDNA cytochrome b , cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2, as well as
20-511: The first call in each drawn out except in speciosa cayennensis group : No display plumage except iridescent head in cayennensis ; groups of double or triple coos with the first call in each short plumbea group ( Oenoenas ): Small size, plain plumage, rounded tails, small bills, phrase composed of high single coos A fossil species (Curtis pigeon) initially placed in Chloroenas , Patagioenas micula (Early Pliocene of Curtis Ranch, USA)
25-631: The genus Columba was long disputed but ultimately confirmed. It is basal to the Columba - Streptopelia radiation with their ancestors diverging from that lineage likely over 8 million years ago . While the biogeographic pattern of this group suggests that the ancestors of typical pigeons and turtle-doves settled the Old World from the Americas , Patagioenas may also be the offspring of Old World pigeons that radiated into different genera later, given that
