Understanding the boundaries of breeding populations is of great importance for conservation efforts and estimates of extinction risk for threatened species. However, determining these boundaries can be difficult when population structure is subtle. Emperor penguins are highly reliant on sea ice, an...

Understanding the boundaries of breeding populations is of great importance for conservation efforts and estimates of extinction risk for threatened species.
