DOI: 10.1186/s12862-018-1207-0
Abstract: BackgroundHistorical factors, demography, reproduction and dispersal are crucial in determining the genetic structure of seabirds. In the Antarctic marine environment, penguins are a major component of the avian biomass, dominant predators and important bioindicators of… read more here.
