摘要: In the 25 years since first DNA sequences were obtained from extinct moa, ancient analyses have significantly advanced our understanding of New Zealand's unique fauna. Here, we review how extracted faunal remains has provided new insights into evolutionary histories and phylogenetic relationships Zealand animals, impacts human activities upon their populations. Moreover, played a key role in improving ability to taxonomically identify fragmentary animal remains, determine biological function within species, reconstruct past faunas communities based on preserved sediments, resolve aspects ecology animals characterising prehistoric parasite faunas. As continue become increasingly applied, sequencing technologies improve, next promises provide many more exciting discoveries about
