Resumen:
Galápagos hawks (Buteo galapagoensis) are one of the most inbred bird species in the world, living in small, isolated island populations.
We used mitochondrial sequence and nuclear minisatellite data to describe relationships among Galápagos hawk populations and
their colonization history. We sampled 10 populations (encompassing the entire current species range of nine islands and one extirpated
population), as well as the Galápagos hawks closest mainland relative, the Swainsons hawk (B. swainsoni). There was little sequence
divergence between Galápagos and Swainsons hawks (only 0.42% over almost 3 kb of data), indicating that the hawks colonized Galápagos
very recently, likely less than 300,000 years ago, making them the most recent arrivals of the studied taxa. There were only seven,
closely related Galápagos hawk haplotypes, with most populations being monomorphic. The mitochondrial and minisatellite data
together indicated a general pattern of rapid population expansion followed by genetic isolation of hawk breeding populations. The
recent arrival, genetic isolation, and phenotypic diVerentiation among populations suggest that the Galápagos hawk, a rather new species
itself, is in the earliest stages of further divergence.Buteo galapagoensis) are one of the most inbred bird species in the world, living in small, isolated island populations.
