Abstract Many seabird breeding colonies have recovered from heavy anthropogenic disturbance after conservation actions. The widely distributed red‐tailed tropicbird, Phaethon rubricauda , was used as a model species to assess potential anthropogenic impacts on the genetic diversity of breeding colon...
