The genome of the Balearic shearwater ( Puffinus mauretanicus ), a Critically Endangered seabird: a valuable resource for evolutionary and conservation genomics

The Balearic shearwater ( Puffinus mauretanicus ) is the most threatened seabird in Europe. The fossil record suggests that human colonisation of the Balearic Islands resulted in a sharp decrease of the population size.
