Phylogeny and biogeography of the imperial pigeons (Aves: Columbidae) in the Pacific Ocean

Imperial doves of the genus Ducula form a monophyletic group. Basal divergences occurred more recently than in the fruit doves (genus Ptilinopus). The Eastern Polynesian endemics do not form a monophyletic group.
