Abstract
Abstract The Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala) is a common, cooperatively breeding meliphagid of eastern and southeastern Australia. We used DNA microsatellites to examine the apportionment of genetic diversity in Noisy Miners at disparate geographic scales to generate baseline information about the population genetic structure of this species. We examined five loci for 79 individuals from four populations. We found small amounts of genetic differentiation between paired populations separated by 30–40 km, and more substantial and significant differentiation between populations separated by more than 1000 km. This result implies substantial gene flow on local scales but much less at regional levels, probably reflecting short dispersal distances and isolation by distance. Analisis Jerarquico de la Estructura Genetica Poblacional de Manorina melanocephala Utilizando Marcadores de ADN Microsatelital Resumen. Manorina melanocephala es un melifagido comun del sur-este de Australia que presenta cria cooperati...
