Does genetic structure reflect differences in non-breeding movements? A case study in small, highly mobile seabirds
International audience Background: In seabirds, the extent of population genetic and phylogeographic structure varies extensively amongspecies. Genetic structure is lacking in some species, but present in others despite the absence of obvious physicalbarriers (landmarks), suggesting that other mecha...
