King penguin population on Macquarie Island recovers ancient DNA diversity after heavy exploitation in historic times.

Biology letters - 23 Aug 2012

Heupink Tim H, van den Hoff John, Lambert David M

Abstract excerpt

Historically, king penguin populations on Macquarie Island have suffered greatly from human exploitation. Two large colonies on the island were drastically reduced to a single small colony as a result of harvesting for the blubber oil industry. However, recent conservation efforts have resulted in the king penguin population expanding in numbers and range to recolonize previous as well as new sites. Ancient DNA...
