Global population structure and taxonomy of the wandering albatross species complex
Abstract A recent taxonomic revision of wandering albatross elevated each of the four subspecies to species. We used mitochondrial DNA and nine microsatellite markers to study the phylogenetic relationships of three species ( Diomedea antipodensis , D. exulans and D. gibsoni ) in the wandering albat...
