Abstract excerpt
The tufted puffin Fratercula cirrhata (Charadriiformes: Alcidae) is distributed throughout the boreal and low Arctic areas of the North Pacific, from California, USA to Hokkaido, Japan. Few studies have investigated the genetic diversity of this species. Therefore, we analyzed the genetic diversity of two captive populations using nucleotide sequences of two mitochondrial loci (COX1 and D-loop) and one nuclear...
