Landscape genetics of three ptarmigan species in Northern Canada

Description of the project:
We investigate the fine scale genetic structure of three ptarmigan species in the Yukon Territory using ten microsatellite markers. The aim of this study is increase our knowledge on dispersal in the three different species and identify potential barriers to gene flow.
