Molecular genetic analyses present powerful tools for elucidating demographic and
biogeographic histories of taxa. Here we present genetic evidence showing a dynamic …

Human impacts have substantially reduced avian biodiversity in many parts of the world,
particularly on isolated islands of the Pacific Ocean. The New Zealand archipelago …

Recent human expansion into the Pacific initiated a dramatic avian extinction crisis, and
surviving taxa are typically interpreted as declining remnants of previously abundant …

Aim The conservation of biodiversity is hampered by data deficiencies, with many new
species and subspecies awaiting description or reclassification. Population genomics and …

The expansion of humans into previously unoccupied parts of the globe is thought to have
driven the decline and extinction of numerous vertebrate species. In New Zealand, human …

The identification of demographically independent populations and the recognition of
management units have been greatly facilitated by the continuing advances in genetic tools …

Abstract The Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor), a colonial-nesting seabird that is widespread
in New Zealand and southern Australia, has high dispersal potential but exhibits regional …

New Zealand is a globally significant hotspot for seabird diversity, but the sparse fossil
record for most seabird lineages has impeded our understanding of how and when this …

The emergence of islands has been linked to spectacular radiations of diverse organisms.
Although penguins spend much of their lives at sea, they rely on land for nesting, and a high …

Many species are shifting their ranges in response to climate‐driven environmental
changes, particularly in high‐latitude regions. However, the patterns of dispersal and …
