A very simple, fast, universally applicable and reproducible method to extract high quality
megabase genomic DNA from different organisms is decribed. We applied the same method …

Microsatellite genotyping errors will be present in all but the smallest data sets and have the
potential to undermine the conclusions of most downstream analyses. Despite this, little …

Together with PAXARMS (NZ), we developed a biopsy system for small cetaceans and
tested it on four populations of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops spp.). The system consists of a …

Microsatellites are one of the most important classes of nuclear genetic markers and offer
many advantages for the study of marine mammals. Here we describe the isolation and …

The recent evolutionary history, population structure and movement patterns of beluga
whales in the western Nearctic were inferred from an analysis of mitochondrial DNA control …

This paper describes a genetic analysis of wild‐living cats in Scotland. Samples from 230
wild‐living Scottish cats (including 13 museum skins) and 74 house cats from England and …

Large marine fishes typically have little population genetic structure. The exceptions are
associated with sedentary behaviour, disjunct distributions, or reproductive philopatry …

Killer whales from the coastal waters off California through Alaska were compared for
genetic variation at three nuclear DNA markers and sequenced for a total of 520 bp from the …

Samples were collected from 407 fin whales, Balaenoptera physalus, at four North Atlantic
and one Mediterranean Sea summer feeding area as well as the Sea of Cortez in the Pacific …

The distribution of circumtropical marine species is limited by continental boundaries, cold
temperate conditions, and oceanic expanses, but some of these barriers are permeable over …
