The Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia) is a highly polytypic bird species with a vast breeding range in the Americas. To assess the level of population structuring within the northern part of its range, I surveyed the nucleotide variation present in a 344bp segment of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)...
