The Common eider, Somateria mollissima, is a large sea duck with a Holarctic distribution, composed of six subspecies. The subspecies statuses are formed on the basis of morphological data and the Common eiders in the Faroe Islands and Iceland have been assigned to the subspecies S. m. faeroeensis and S. m. borealis, respectively. The aim of this study is to examine the subspecies statuses of the Faroese and Icelandic Common eider populations with comparisons to other eider subspecies. Samples for genetic and morphological analysis were collected in the Faroe Islands and Iceland during the summer of 2017. Feathers from breeding females were collected for DNA extraction, while standardized measurements were taken of the same birds. Additiona...
