STUDI FILOGENETIK ELANG LAUT PERUT PUTIH (Haliaeetus leucogaster) BERDASARKAN DNA BARCODING CYTOCHROME-C OXCIDACE SUB UNIT I (COI)
Abstract: The White-bellied
Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) is one of the top predators living in the
coastal area of Indonesia. This species has the range of distribution in all
across Indonesian archipelago. However, this raptor population decreases
particularly in the Java southern seas due to illegal hunts and the decreasing
quality of their natural habitat. Meanwhile, this bird is still poorly studied
in Indonesia. This research focuses on the identification of Haliaeetus
leucogaster and the phylogenetic study of this species by means of
morphometrical analysis and DNA barcode cytochrome-c oxcidace sub unit I (COI)
in regards to the conservation of thisspecies. The method used in this research
is by measuring the morphological characteristics and mitochondrial DNA
isolation using Forward primer BirdF1 5’- TTC TCC AAC CAC AAA GAC ATT GGC AC-3’
and Reverse primer BirdR2 5’ ACT ACA TGT GAG ATG ATT CCG AAT-3’. The
phylogenetic analysis using MEGA 6 with Maximum Likelihood method shows that
Haliaeetus leucogaster in this study is closely related to Haliaeetus
albicilla, Haliaeetus leucocephalus dan Haliaeetus pelagicus.
