Bryde's‐like whales are a complex of medium‐sized baleen whales that occur in tropical
waters of all three major ocean basins. Currently, a single species of Bryde's whale …

Uncertainty in marine mammal taxonomy is increasingly being addressed using molecular
genetic data. We examined 32 peer‐reviewed articles published between 1994 and 2011to …

The availability of mitochondrial genome sequences is growing as a result of recent
technological advances in molecular biology. In phylogenetic analyses, the complete …

We present genetic and morphological evidence supporting the recognition of a previously
synonymized species of Mesoplodon beaked whale in the tropical Indo‐Pacific, Mesoplodon …

In the last ten years, 14 species of cetaceans and five species of pinnipeds stranded along
the Atlantic coast of Brittany in the North West of France. All species included, an average of …

The identification of species and population boundaries is important in both evolutionary
and conservation biology. In recent years, new population genetic and computational …

The genus Stenella is comprised of five species occurring in all oceans. Despite its wide
distribution, genetic diversity information on these species is still scarce especially in the …

Cetacean taxonomy continues to be in flux and molecular genetic analyses examining alpha
taxonomy in cetaceans have relied heavily on the mitochondrial DNA control region …

DNA barcoding is a universal molecular identification system of living beings for which
efficacy and universality have been largely demonstrated in the last decade in many …

Historical variation in food resources is expected to be a major driver of cetacean evolution,
especially for the smallest species like porpoises. Despite major conservation issues among …
