The role of demographic history and selection in shaping genetic diversity of the Galápagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus).

PloS one - 1 Jan 2020

Abstract excerpt

Although many studies have documented the effects of demographic bottlenecks on the genetic diversity of natural populations, there is conflicting evidence of the roles that genetic drift and selection may play in driving changes in genetic variation at adaptive loci. We analyzed genetic variation at microsatellite and mitochondrial loci in conjunction with an adaptive MHC class II locus in the Galápagos penguin...
