“…It has been earlier sug gested to consider the blackeared kite as a separate species, M. lineatus (Sibley, Monroe, 1990;Zhukov, 2012; Avibase taxonomic concepts, 2017), but this proposal is inconsistent with population research. As reported by Karyakin (2017), M. m. migrans and M. m. lineatus interbreed freely and, appar ently, penetrate deeper into the ranges of each other, expanding an intergradation zone. According to Scheider et al (2004) and Andreyenkova et al (2018), M. m. migrans and M. m. lineatus CytB haplotypes form two separate branches of a phylogenetic tree.…”

“…This subspecies is wide spread in Australia, New Guinea, and Indonesia. According to current data (Karyakin, 2017) M. m. aff inis have no contacts with other black kite subspecies; therefore, significant genetic differences between M. m. aff inis and other subspecies could be expected, as is the case of the African yellowbilled kite. Unfortunately, very little data on the Australian black kite genetics is available.…”

“…Roques and Negro (2005) hypothesized that the red and black kites diverged as separate species during the last glaciation in the Pleistocene, and now they are isolated reproductively, although the isolation is incomplete (Heneberg et al, 2016). These kites show sympatric speciation, the earlier archaeozoological Breeding ranges of the black kite subspecies (Karyakin, 2017).…”

“…Pariah kite, M. m. govinda. This subspecies is widespread throughout the Indian subcontinent from Pakistan in the west to IndoChina in the east (Karyakin, 2017) and is very poorly investigated, too. M. m. govinda is possibly intergradated with other black kite subspecies in the northwest and northeast of its range; moreover, M. m. lineatus spends winters in the range of M. m. govinda while M. m. govinda is considered to be sedentary.…”

“…Recently, I.V. Karyakin analy zed about 800 black kite photo graphs in several ornithological data bases (mostly Raptors of the World in GBIF) and produced a map of subspe cies distribution (Karyakin, 2017). The Palearctic is populated by two subspe cies: the western part is occupied by the European black kite M. m. migrans, and the eastern part, by the blackeared kite M. m. lineatus.…”

The black kite Milvus migrans is a common bird of prey demonstrating remarkable ecological plasticity. It inhabits a variety of habitats and is an increasingly synanthropic species. The black kite is widespread in Eurasia, Africa, Australia and adjacent islands. Palearctic kites migrate to Africa, India and China in winter, but kites of Africa and Australia are partly sedentary and partly seasonal migrants. The wide range and high mobility are the reasons of a complex population structure of the black kite. Commonly five to seven M. migrans subspecies are distinguished, each of which is widespread over extensive areas and has more or less an apparent phenotype. Recently, studies of genetic differences between black kite populations started to emerge. On the grounds of earlier studies of mitochondrial and nuclear genes of this species, we check whether there is a genetic support for separation of the black kite subspecies. Recent studies of some mitochondrial loci substantiate the recognition of at least the European (M. m. migrans), Asian (M. m. lineatus and M. m. govinda), African (M. m. aegyptius and M. m. parasitus), and Australian (M. m. affinis) black kite subspecies. Furthermore, the mitochondrial haplotype difference suggests that the African yellow-billed kite, including M. m. aegyptius and M. m. parasitus, should be a separate species as already proposed, or even two separate species.
