This workshop will provide an overview of how to analyze data for common populations genetic analyses (stock structure and MSA). The speakers will provide an overview of rookery stock structure (i.e., comparing different nesting colonies) and Mixed Stock Analysis (i.e., evaluating which nesting colonies contribute to foraging habitats), providing examples and guidance on its best use, their advantages, and limitations. The workshop will cover the guiding principles, research question, sampling design, statistical analysis and software pipeline for both processes. These will be followed by specific case studies from the region.​

Duration: 180 minutes
