摘要：
We investigated the reliability of buccal swabs for molecular sex determination in very young nestlings (0–14 days old) and adults of the Common Swift (Apus apus) compared to the results from blood samples of the same individuals. Sex determination based on buccal swabs matched the result of sex determination based on blood samples in 46 out of 47 nestlings (98 %) and in all 10 adults (100 %). Therefore, we consider that buccal swab sampling is a reliable noninvasive method to obtain DNA for sex determination in swifts. We recommend buccal swabbing as an alternative to blood sampling in future genetic studies in birds.
