Chinstrap penguin population genetic structure: one or more populations along the Southern Ocean?

Abstract Background Historical factors, demography, reproduction and dispersal are crucial in determining the genetic structure of seabirds. In the Antarctic marine environment, penguins are a major component of the avian biomass, dominant predators and important bioindicators of ecological change....
