The zenaida doves make up a small genus (Zenaida) of American doves in the family Columbidae.

The genus was introduced in 1838 by French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte.[2] The name commemorates his wife, Zénaïde Laetitia Julie Bonaparte, niece of Napoleon Bonaparte.[3] The type species is the Zenaida dove, Zenaida aurita.[4] It is the national bird of Anguilla.[5]

Systematics[edit]

DNA sequence analysis[6] confirms that the white-winged and West Peruvian doves are the most distinct and that they should be treated as distinct species. Relationships among the other species are quite unequivocal, too; what is not quite clear is whether the Galapagos dove is most closely related to the zenaida dove (as tentatively indicated by morphology) or to the eared and mourning doves (as suggested by DNA sequences — although with a very low confidence level – and, most robustly, biogeography).

Extant species[edit]

The genus contains seven species:[10]

Image Scientific name Common name Distribution
Zenaida asiatica White-winged dove Southwestern United States through Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean
Zenaida auriculata Eared dove South America from Colombia to southern Argentina and Chile, and on the offshore islands from the Grenadines southwards
Zenaida aurita Zenaida dove Caribbean and the tip of the Yucatán Peninsula
Zenaida galapagoensis Galápagos dove Galápagos, off Ecuador
Zenaida graysoni Socorro dove Socorro Island in the Revillagigedo Islands; extinct in the wild
Zenaida macroura Mourning dove Most of Canada and USA to south central Mexico, Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Greater Antilles, and Panama
Zenaida meloda West Peruvian dove from southern Ecuador to northern Chile
