Low genetic diversity and lack of population structure in the endangered Galápagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus)

2008-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Long-term monitoring of the endangered Galápagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) has indicated poor reproductive periods and severe population fluctuations in association with El Niño – Southern Oscillation events. An earlier mark and recapture study indicated that adults exhibit some degree of breeding-site and mate fidelity, and that juveniles potentially move more frequently than adults; however, the extent to...
