Comparative landscape genetics and the adaptive radiation of Darwin's finches: the role of peripheral isolation.

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2005

Petren K, Grant P R, Grant B R, Keller L F

Abstract excerpt

We use genetic divergence at 16 microsatellite loci to investigate how geographical features of the Galápagos landscape structure island populations of Darwin's finches. We compare the three most genetically divergent groups of Darwin's finches comprising morphologically and ecologically similar allopatric populations: the cactus finches (Geospiza scandens and Geospiza conirostris), the sharp-beaked ground...
