Abstract
L. Roman, B. Mayne, C. Anderson, Y. Kim, T. O'Dwyer, and N. Carlile, "A Novel Technique for Estimating Age and Demography of Long-Lived Seabirds (Genus Pterodroma) Using an Epigenetic Clock for Gould's Petrel (Pterodroma leucoptera)," Molecular Ecology Resources 24, no. 7 (2024): e14003, https://doi.org/10.1111/1755-0998.14003. This Expression of Concern is for the above article, published online on 29 July 2024 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), and has been issued by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Ben Sibbett; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The Expression of Concern has been agreed upon following concerns raised by one of the authors, L. Roman, regarding potential inaccuracies in the data presented in the article. These concerns suggest the study may not be reproducible. The institution is currently investigating the matter and has requested that the Expression of Concern be published during the course of the investigation.
