dc.description.abstract	Kirtland s warblers are the rarest songbird species in North America, rarity due in part to a reliance on early successional Jack Pine forests. Habitat loss due to fire suppression led to population declines to fewer than 200 males during the 1970s. Subsequent conservation management has allowed the species to recover to over 1700 males by 2010. In this study, we directly examine the impact that low population sizes have had on genetic variation in Kirtland s warblers. We compare the molecular variation of samples collected in Oscoda County, Michigan across three time periods: 1903 1912, 1929 1955 and 2008 2009.	en
