Integrating genetic data into the study of the significance of the North Sea and Skagerrak for wintering auks

This project aims to investigate the impact of recent mass mortality events on auk populations around the North Sea by determining the origin of the birds involved. This will be achieved through a genetic analysis of samples of dead guillemots and razorbills washed up in Norway and Denmark in two main mass mortality events, and comparing them with samples from live birds of known origin.
