Abstract excerpt

We studied the genetic variability and differentiation of two Fennoscandian willow tit (Parus montanus borealis) populations located ca. 1000 km apart in Finland and Sweden by using the control region sequences of the mitochondrial DNA. Individual variation in the control region was extensive sin...
