	Description:
		Abstract: This master thesis report summarizes the study of genetic structure differences between subspecies of the willow flycatcher.  The scientist found that through study of genetic structure there were many differences between the subspecies.  He also concluded that the population of willow flycatchers went through a period of low population and then through a rapid expansion recently.  This may have affected the genetics of the endangered southwestern willow flycatcher.
