- Abstract
The article focuses on the study on the phylogenetics of the Holarctic clade by through the examination of an additional Corvus corax race, the smallest subspecies of ravens in the canary Island. The Canary Island Ravens have DNA sequences that are diagnosably distinct from those of common Ravens. The phylogenetic analyses suggest that the ravens are evolving independently of the rest of the clade. The group has no haplotype sharing between the groups. They also differ in their morphological characters which includes plumage color, the presence and absence of an oily plumage gloss, wing length and skeletal dimensions. They are demographically independent because of their low gene low.
