Description: Genetic data were collected from common murres, pigeon guillemots, marbled murrelets, and Kittlitz's murrelets (all which were slow to recover in the Gulf of Alaska after the Exxon Valdez oil spill) in order to estimate genetic differentiation and gene flow among regions and genetic variability and inbreeding within regions. The regions ranged from the Sea of Okhotsk to the Farallon Islands of California.
