Oceanographic Barriers, Divergence, and Admixture: Phylogeography and Taxonomy of Two Putative Subspecies of Short-Finned Pilot Whale

Genomic phylogeography plays an important role in describing evolutionary processes and their geographic, ecological, or cultural drivers. These drivers are

Killer Whale Genomes Reveal a Complex History of Recurrent Admixture and Vicariance

Reconstruction of the demographic and evolutionary history of populations assuming a consensus tree-like relationship can mask more complex scenarios, which

Familial Social Structure and Socially Driven Genetic Differentiation in Hawaiian Short-Finned Pilot Whales

Social structure can have a significant impact on divergence and evolution within species, especially in the marine environment, which has

Hierarchical Structure of Mitochondrial DNA Gene Flow Among Humpback Whales Megaptera novaeangliae, World-Wide

The genetic structure of humpback whale populations and subpopulation divisions is described by restriction fragment length analysis of the mitochondrial

Movements and Population Structure of Humpback Whales in the North Pacific

Despite the extensive use of photographic identification methods to investigate humpback whales in the North Pacific, few quantitative analyses have

Insights into the Population Structure of Blue Whales in the Eastern North Pacific from Recent Sightings and Photographic Identifications

Blue whales were widely distributed in the North Pacific prior to the primary period of modern commercial whaling in the

Population Structure of Island-Associated Dolphins: Evidence from Photo-Identification of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Main Hawaiian Islands

Management agencies often use geopolitical boundaries as proxies for biological boundaries. In Hawaiian waters a single stock is recognized of

Sperm Whale Population Structure in the Eastern and Central North Pacific Inferred by the Use of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), Microsatellites and Mitochondrial DNA

We use mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) (400 bp), six microsatellites and 36 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 20 of which were linked, to

Population Structure of Island-Associated Dolphins: Evidence from Mitochondrial and Microsatellite Markers for Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Around the Main Hawaiian Islands

We used mitochondrial and nuclear genetic markers to investigate population structure of common bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, around the main

Population Structure of Melon-Headed Whales (Peponocephala electra) in the Hawaiian Archipelago: Evidence of Multiple Populations Based on Photo-Identification

Despite the presence of melon-headed whales in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide, little is known about this species. To assess population
