Map of Yellow-Rumped Warblers mtDNA and Migratory Transition Zone

Caption

This is a map showing the breeding ranges, migratory behavior and distribution of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in four groups of yellow-rumped warblers. New data from Toews and colleagues demonstrates that the area where there is a transition in mtDNA is also home to a shift in migratory behavior, from residents to migrants.
