Abstract excerpt
To test the hypothesis that nonphysical barriers to gene flow play a role in the divergence of low-latitude seabird populations, we applied phylogeographic methods to mitochondrial control region sequence variation in a global sample of masked boobies (Sula dactylatra). In accord with previous studies, we found that Indo-Pacific and Atlantic haplotypes form two divergent lineages, excluding one haplotype...
