Study of evolution and domestication of red jungle fowl in Southeast Asia

这个丛林家禽课题组一直在对丛林家禽和亚洲土鸡进行形态和遗传研究活动。本研究的目的是确定东南亚大陆红树林家禽的3个亚种的分布，阐明东南亚红树林家禽的进化和驯化。与泰国本地鸡杂交的听力调查结果与泰国红树林家禽之间存在明显的相关性。从我们对3个亚种红树林家禽的D-loop区分析的结果来看，很难确定家鸡的唯一祖先。丛林家禽的驯化是建立在丛林家禽与人类之间长期而密切的关系中的。

This research group on jungle fowl has been making morphological and genetic research activities on jungle fowl and native chickens in Asia. The aim of this study is to confirm the distribution of 3 subspecies of red jungle fowls in continental Southeast Asia, and to clarify the evolution and domestication of red jungle fowl in Southeast Asia.A clear interrelationship has been confirmed between the result of hearing surveys on crossing with native chickens and red jungle fowl in Thailand.From our result of analysis of D-loop region in three subspecies of red jungle, it was difficult to confirm the sole ancestor of domestic chicken. The domestication of jungle fowl is established in long and close interrelationship between the jungle fowl and the human being.
