Table 2.

Posterior mean migration rates and standard deviation of the marginal posterior distribution for each estimate. Mean migration rates (m) as a proportion from 0 to 1 and standard deviation (s.d.) were calculated between Atlantic and Indian Ocean populations of the blue petrel Halobaena caerulea, thin-billed prion Pachyptila belcheri, and Antarctic prion P. desolata

Species m[Atlantic] ← [Indian] m[Indian] ← [Atlantic]
Blue petrel m 0.317 0.011
s.d. 0.015 0.011
Thin-billed prion m 0.008 0.324
s.d. 0.009 0.009
Antarctic prion m 0.324 0.009
s.d. 0.009 0.009

Notes: m[Atlantic] ← [Indian]: is the fraction of individuals in the Atlantic Ocean population that are migrants derived from the Indian Ocean population (per generation); m[Indian] ← [Atlantic]: is the fraction of individuals in the Indian Ocean population that are migrants derived from the Atlantic Ocean population (per generation)
