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 …

Fidelity to migratory destinations is an important driver of connectivity in marine and avian
species. Here we assess the role of maternally directed learning of migratory habitats, or …

Phylogeny-based estimates suggesting a low germline mutation rate (μ) in baleen whales
have influenced research ranging from assessments of whaling impacts to evolutionary …

Biodiversity in the oceans has dramatically declined since the beginning of the industrial
era, with accelerated loss of marine biodiversity impairing the ocean's capacity to maintain …

Currently, three stocks of sei whales (Balaenoptera borealis) are defined in the North
Atlantic; the Nova Scotian, Iceland-Denmark Strait and Eastern North Atlantic stocks, which …

Understanding the degree of genetic exchange between subspecies and populations is vital
for the appropriate management of endangered species. Blue whales (B alaenoptera …

The Mediterranean fin whale population, Balaenoptera physalus, is resident, with almost no
exchanges with the Atlantic population. The entire population was estimated at 1300 or …

Population differentiation in environments without well-defined geographical barriers
represents a challenge for wildlife management. Based on a comprehensive database of …

The population genetic structure of the Antarctic minke whale in the Antarctic sector
corresponding to the Indo-Pacific was investigated using the mitochondrial DNA control …

The advent of massive parallel sequencing technologies has resulted in an increase of
studies based upon complete mitochondrial genome DNA sequences that revisit the …
