CAPTURES_COLONIES_CALONECTRIS_GALICIA_2008-13.xls

The
Cory’s shearwater (Calonectris diomedea)
is a pelagic seabird that has recently established three new colonies in
Galicia (NE Atlantic) thus expanding its distribution range 500 km northwards.
This is the Dataset of a study aimed to describe the establishment and early progress of the new
Galician populations and to determine the genetic and morphometric
characteristics of the individuals participating in these foundation events.
Using 10 microsatellite loci, we tested the predictions supported by different
seabird colonization models.
