A Global Molecular Phylogeny of the Small Puffinus Shearwaters and Implications for Systematics of the Little-Audubon's Shearwater Complex
18 pages International audience —A molecular phylogeny based on 917 base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrial (mt) DNA cytochrome-b gene was used to test and reassess the systematics and confl icting taxonomic treatments of the small, black-and-white Puffi nus shearwaters, including the P. assimilis–lher...
