Rates of Evolution in Ancient DNA from Adelie Penguins
Well-preserved subfossil bones of Adélie penguins, Pygoscelis adeliae , underlieexisting and abandoned nesting colonies in Antarctica. These bones, dating backto more than 7000 years before the present, harbor some of the best-preservedancient DNA yet discovered. From 96 radiocarbon-aged bones, we r...
