“…The sequence obtained was nearly identical (0.2% pairwise variation) to sequences from birds nesting on Isla Monito (18.083°N, 67.883°W) (Morris-Pocock, Steeves et al 2010). Intraspecific pairwise distances within S. l. leucogaster vary from 0.2% to 7.8% (average 3.9%, n = 33).…”

. 2015. Subspecific identification of the Great Lakes' first Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster) using DNA. Canadian Field-Naturalist 129(1): 53-59.The first Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster) recorded in the Great Lakes basin was discovered on Lake Erie near the source of the Niagara River on 7 October 2013 by J. P. Morphologic evidence suggested that this bird was an adult female of the nominate Atlantic subspecies. We obtained genomic DNA from feces left by the bird. Mitochondrial DNA from the control region (CR2) was sequenced and compared with extensive CR2 data for Brown Booby available in GenBank; this corroborated the morphologic hypothesis. This is the first time that a vagrant bird in Canada has been identified using DNA extracted from feces.

“…These approaches allow us to robustly estimate divergence times, historical and contemporary population sizes, rates of gene exchange during divergence, and to evaluate competing divergence scenario hypotheses. A number of seabird research groups are now utilizing larger (10+ markers) datasets and have recently developed analytical methods (Peucker et al 2009, Lopes & Boessenkool 2010, Morris-Pocock et al 2010, 2011, Taylor et al 2011a, Welch et al 2011.…”

“…The Brown Booby exhibits very little movement among islands (Schreiber & Norton 2002), and the maternal gene flow among the four populations appears to be either low or zero (Steeves et al 2003, Morris-Pocock et al 2010. However, there are two localities where dispersal and breeding across the Eastern Pacific Basin have been documented, towards the east by S. l. plotus and towards the west by S. l. brewsteri.…”

Abstract. The Brown Booby Sula leucogaster is divided into four subspecies and is distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical seas of the world. This species was believed to show little movement and low or no gene flow among populations, however, there exist several records of dispersal and breeding across the East Pacific Basin, both by S. l. plotus and S. l. brewsteri inhabiting the western and eastern sides, respectively. We observed a male of S. l. brewsteri visiting Nakanokamishima, Japan, which is one of the breeding sites of S. l. plotus in the West Pacific. Presumably, it was this same individual that was observed intermittently until 2014 and bred and produced offspring with a S. l. plotus female, adapting to the breeding schedule of the Nakanokamishima population from 2012 to 2014. Another male having a white head and neck was recorded at another location on the island since 2011. Although this male often courted a female, they have not yet formed a pair. These are the first records of S. l. brewsteri breeding behaviour in Japan and provide important ecological information regarding the process of pair formation and breeding at the breeding sites of other S. leucogaster subspecies.
