<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-pagination:none'><span lang=EN-CA
style='mso-ansi-language:EN-CA'>The potential for molecular markers to aid
seabird research is continually expanding. Currently, sequencing has become
very rapid and cost-effective and methods for interpreting sequence variation
have expanded exponentially, with the result that molecular genetics now
provides powerful tools for many fields of study. Here, I provide examples of
how molecular markers can advance our understanding of seabird evolution and
ecology and aid conservation. Specifically, molecular tools provide insights
into mechanisms of speciation, barriers to gene flow and dispersal, and
morphological adaptation. They can aid in the inference of metapopulation
dynamics, help to census species that are difficult to observe, and provide
insight into the extent of hybridization between species. Finally, modern
molecular methods can benefit conservation by helping to delimit appropriate population
units for management, indicating geographic regions that should be given high
priority for protection, and helping with impact assessment. Potential
application of molecular markers will almost certainly continue to increase and
improve in future. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
