Philopatry can promote genetic differentiation among populations but remains undescribed in many seabirds. Hence, we explored such associations Heermann’s Gull. was observed monitoring 998 gulls Rasa Island, while differences were examined the Cardonosa, Rasa, and Isabel islands using cytochrome b of 296 gulls. Adults returned repeatedly to its natal valley or a very close distance from it under different modelled hypotheses. Likewise, interaction between sex indicated significant...
Estimations on the influence of evolutionary and ecological forces as drivers population gene diversity genetic structure have been performed a growing number colonial seabirds, but many remain poorly studied. In particular, storm-petrels (Hydrobatidae) has evaluated in only few 24 recognized species. We assessed Black Storm-Petrel ( Hydrobates melania) Least microsoma) Gulf California. The two species were selected because they are pelagic seabirds with comparable traits breeding grounds....
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) enables vertebrates to cope with pathogens and maintain healthy populations, thus making it a unique set of loci for addressing ecology evolutionary biology questions. aim our study was examine the variability Heermann’s Gull MHC class II (MHCIIB) compare these other Charadriiformes. Fifty-nine MHCIIB haplotypes were recovered from sixty-eight Gulls by cloning, them, twelve identified as putative true alleles, forty-five two pseudogenes. Intra...
