Serinus canaria (wild canary) and S. serinus (European serin) together form one of the several polytomies within the genus Serinus phylogenetic trees. In a relatively late period, a wild ancestor of S. canaria invaded the Canary Islands, and these birds are the origin of all existing cage canaries, including the first genetically engineered animal: the red canary. The present analysis of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules in the Canary Islands' species S. canaria shows that the evolution of the MHC in this species is overall different and faster than that of continental species - namely, S. thibetanus (Asia) and S. mozambicus (Africa) - but particularly so in the peptide binding region. These data support the hypothesis that oceanic islands may be evolutionary reservoirs and not evolutionary dead ends. Dt.
