Coalescent modelling suggests recent secondary-contact of cryptic penguin species

Uses a suite of nuclear DNA markers (microsatellites and an intron marker) to test the hypotheses that Eudyptula minor, the world's smallest penguin, comprises two distinct taxa that co-occur in New Zealand and that the Australian lineage in Otago represents a recent invasion. Assesses timefram...

Zusammenfassung:	Uses a suite of nuclear DNA markers (microsatellites and an intron marker) to test the hypotheses that Eudyptula minor, the world's smallest penguin, comprises two distinct taxa that co-occur in New Zealand and that the Australian lineage in Otago represents a recent invasion. Assesses timeframes of population divergence using Markov chain Monte Carlo coalescent analysis.
