Population structure and dispersal patterns within and between Atlantic and Mediterranean populations of a large-range pelagic seabird.

Dispersal is critically linked to the demographic and evolutionary trajectories of populations, but in most seabird species it may be difficult to estimate. Using molecular tools, we explored population structure and the spatial dispersal pattern of a highly pelagic but philopatric seabird, the Cory...
