	Using genetic markers to determine population status and management strategies of migratory birds. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		For example, we are currently using genetic data obtained from feathers of contemporary nesting populations of the threatened spectacled eider (Somateria fisheri) in comparison with historical genetic variability obtained from 100-year-old museum specimens of spectacled eiders.
		Genetic data from breeding populations of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) are currently being used to develop simulation models to characterize the composition of mixed wintering flocks of Canada geese on Oregon and Washington State.
		In a similar fashion, we are obtaining genetic information from breeding populations of King eiders (Somateria spectabilis), to determine the breeding origin of individual wintering King eiders heavily impacted during an oil spill in the Pribilof Islands.

		EIDER (Icelandic, i~dur), a large marine duck, the Somateria mollissime of ornithologists, famous for its down, which, from its extreme lightness and elasticity, is in great request for filling bed-coverlets.
		This bird generally frequents low rocky islets near the coast, and in Iceland and Norway has long been afforded every encouragement and protection, a fine being inflicted for killing it during the breeding-season, or even for firing a gun near its haunts, while artificial nesting-places are in many localities contrived for its further accommodation.
		The female greatly resembles that of the eider, but the male has a fl chevron on his chin and a bright orange prominence on his forehead, which last seems to have given the species its English name.

		Smaller than the Common Eider, the King Eider has a conspicuous orangey protuberance on the top of the bill.
		The story goes that the male King Eider is an elderly Common Eider whose crown, earned with age, allows him to reign over his fellow eiders.
