摘要: The karyotypes of Mycteria americana (Ciconiidae) and Platalea ajaja (Threskiornithidae) are described. Both species have a diploid number 2n = 72. There slight chromosome morphology differences, which could be related to distinct evolution pathways these two families. Besides better understanding the relationships among Ciconiiformes, this first characterization M. P. is an important tool for conservation both species.
