Genetic analyses of historic and modern marbled murrelets suggest decoupling of migration and gene flow after habitat fragmentation.
The dispersal of individuals among fragmented populations is generally thought to prevent genetic and demographic isolation, and ultimately reduce extinction risk. In this study, we show that a century of reduction in coastal old-growth forests, as well as a number of other environmental factors, has probably resulted in the genetic divergence of marbled murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) in ...

M arbled murrelets, Brachyramphus marmoratus marmoratus, are small seabirds of the Alcid Family. Alcids are diving seabirds inhabiting the north Pacific and include murres, puffins, auklets, murrelets, and guillemots. Marbled murrelets occur in nearshore marine environments from California to Alaska, nesting primarily in old-growth forests. A larger subspecies, B. m. perdix, is found along the ...
متن کاملActivity Patterns of Marbled Murrelets in Douglas-fir Old-growth Forests of the Oregon Coast Range
Activity patterns of Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) were monitored on a near-daily basis during three breeding seasons at five inland forest sites in the Oregon Coast Range. Four daily activity metrics (numbers of daily detections, vocalizations, occupied detections, and duration of daily activity) were monitored and each was highly variable within and among sites and years. We ob...
متن کاملMarine Habitat Selection by Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) during the Breeding Season
The marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) is a declining seabird that is well-known for nesting in coastal old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest. Most studies of habitat selection have focused on modeling terrestrial nesting habitat even though marine habitat is believed to be a major contributor to population declines in some regions. To address this information gap, we conducted a...
متن کاملComparison of Aerial and Boat-based Survey Methods for Marbled Murrelets Brachyramphus Marmoratus and Other Marine Birds
We compared density estimates for marine birds off central California from simultaneous aerial and boat-based surveys, with a special emphasis on Marbled Murrelets Brachyramphus marmoratus. We surveyed 44 eight-kilometer transects in nearshore waters of Monterey Bay, California, from December 2005 through March 2006. We found that density estimates of all birds combined and of Western Aechmopho...
