Genetic variability in Guadalupe fur seals

The Guadalupe fur seal ( Arctocephalus townsendi ) population underwent one or two severe bottlenecks due to commercial sealing in the late 19 century. Since then the protected population has been growing steadily around their only rookery, Isla de Guadalupe, Mexico. We probed both nuclear and mitoc...
