Abstract excerpt
We describe sequence variation in the mitochondrial control region and its nuclear homolog in three species and seven subspecies of guillemots (Cepphus spp.). Nuclear homologs of the 5' end of the control region were found in all individuals. Nuclear sequences were approximately 50% divergent from their mitochondrial counterparts and formed a distinct phylogenetic clade; the mitochondrial-nuclear introgression...
