Genetic differences between the endangered San Clemente Island loggerhead shrike Lanius ludovicianus mearnsi and two neighbouring subspecies demonstrated by mtDNA control region and cytochrome b sequence variation.

Abstract excerpt

We investigated mtDNA sequence variation in five populations of the loggerhead shrike Lanius ludovicianus, representing four subspecies, including the San Clemente logger-head shrike L. l. mearnsi, a critically endangered California Channel Island endemic. Variability in 200 bp of control region...
