Northern rockhopper penguin truly different, in terms of more than reproductive isolation and some morphological features, was found in the mitochondrial sequences of the three species. It was found "E. c. filholi" and "E. c. chrysocome" were not as different genetically as "E. c. moseleyi" was to the other two subspecies.
