FIGURE 1.
(inset:) Map of 33 colony areas sampled in this study. Numbers correspond to colony alphanumeric codes in Table 1.
(overall:) Map of the hybrid and introgressive zones in the L. glaucescens-occidentalis complex. Pie diagrams illustrate the relative proportions of each morphotype collected at the given colony area. Morphotypes classified a posteriori by DFA. Numbers next to each pie diagram correspond to colony alphanumeric codes (Table 1). The hybrid zone is defined here as the region of breeding sympatry between pure L. glaucescens and L. o. occidentalis, and encompasses colonies 12 (PRO12) to 20 (COO20), excluding 15 (PUG15). Its midpoint is centered around colony 14 (GRA14). The zone of introgression is the region where hybrids were collected as breeding birds, and encompasses colonies 4 (MASS4) to 20.
