Mitogenomes uncover extinct penguin taxa and reveal island formation as a key driver of speciation
The emergence of islands has been linked to spectacular radiations of diverse organisms. Although penguins spend much of their lives at sea, they rely on land for nesting, and a high proportion of extant species are endemic to geologically young islands. Islands may thus have been crucial to the evo...
