Identifying mechanisms of genetic differentiation among populations in vagile species: historical factors dominate genetic differentiation in seabirds
Elucidating the factors underlying the origin and maintenance of genetic variation among
populations is crucial for our understanding of their ecology and evolution, and also to help …

Niche partitioning among and within sympatric tropical seabirds revealed by stable isotope analysis
The low productivity and unpredictable nature of resources in tropical waters would appear
to make resource partitioning among predators difficult. Yet, stable isotope data from the …
