Short summary
This paper reports on the genetic diversity parameters of 12 Beninese indigenous guinea fowl phenotypes distributed in three climatic zones. More information has been provided through the results on genetic conservation and adaptability of the phenotypes to the local environment under climate change's continuous impact.
