Conservation genetics of high-arctic Gull species at risk: I. Diversity in the mtDNA control region of circumpolar populations of the Endangered Ivory Gull ( Pagophila eburnea )
The high-arctic Ivory Gull ( Pagophila eburnea ) has recently undergone a sharp decline in numbers, and in Canada it is listed as “Endangered” under the Species-At-Risk Act. To test for circumpolar genetic distinctiveness, we examined 264 bp of the mtDNA Control Region Domain I from 127 museum speci...
