Do common eiders nest in kin groups? Microgeographic genetic structure in a philopatric sea duck.

Molecular ecology - 1 Feb 2010

Sonsthagen Sarah A, Talbot Sandy L, Lanctot Richard B, McCracken Kevin G

Abstract excerpt

We investigated local genetic associations among female Pacific common eiders (Somateria mollissima v-nigrum) nesting in a stochastic Arctic environment within two groups of barrier islands (Simpson Lagoon and Mikkelsen Bay) in the Beaufort Sea, Alaska. Nonrandom genetic associations were observe...
