Buteo is a genus of medium to fairly large, wide-ranging raptors with a robust body and broad wings. In the Old World, members of this genus are called "buzzards", but "hawk" is used in the New World (Etymology: Buteo is the Latin name of the common buzzard [1]).

Mar 14, 2025 · We present a genome assembly from a male specimen of Buteo buteo (Common Buzzard; Chordata; Aves; Accipitriformes; Accipitridae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1,303.68 megabases and 1,330.55 megabases.

Jan 10, 2017 · The plausibility of Red-tailed Hawk origin for the atypical characteristics of WFB 4816, whether by adaptive introgression or hybridization followed by two or more generations of backcrossing, is supported by a growing set of documented examples of hybridization involving species in the genus Buteo. A putative juvenile hybrid specimen in the ...

There are six species of North American buteos which occur over a considerable portion of the continent north of Mexico. All but one of these species has a "dark" color phase, along with a "light" or normal phase. In many, there are also many intermediate degrees between the …

The “Alaska” Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis alascensis) is an enigmatic taxon. Breeding in the temperate rainforests of coastal southeast Alaska and extreme western Canada, including offshore islands (e.g., Haida Gwaii), it is poorly represented in historical museum collections as well as in modern digital collections (e.g., eBird ...

Jan 10, 2017 · An adult Buteo was found dead as a road-kill south of Sacramento, California, and was thought to represent the first state record of the eastern Red-shouldered Hawk (B. lineatus lineatus;). It is now a specimen in the Museum of Wildlife and Fisheries Biology (WFB 4816) at the University of California, Davis.

Coronal CT images showing a specimen of Buteo buteo (A) without and (B) with iodine staining. Gross dissection has a long history as a tool for the study of human or animal soft- and...

Lerner et al. (2008) offers a different topology with slightly fewer species. Based on both analyses, Buteo is polyphyletic with Leucopternis, Geranoaetus melanoleucus, and Parabuteo unicinctus, suggesting the need to reassess classification of these genera.
