Where to now with the evolutionarily significant unit?
AR Hoelzel - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023 - cell.com
The designation of units for conservation has been a necessary but challenging objective
since conservation efforts began. Most species are divided, typically by environment, into …

Inbreeding depression explains killer whale population dynamics
Understanding the factors that cause endangered populations to either grow or decline is
crucial for preserving biodiversity. Conservation efforts often address extrinsic threats, such …

Genome-culture coevolution promotes rapid divergence of killer whale ecotypes
Analysing population genomic data from killer whale ecotypes, which we estimate have
globally radiated within less than 250,000 years, we show that genetic structuring including …

Complete mitochondrial genome phylogeographic analysis of killer whales (Orcinus orca) indicates multiple species
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) currently comprise a single, cosmopolitan species with a
diverse diet. However, studies over the last 30 yr have revealed populations of sympatric …

Hybridization, ecological races and the nature of species: empirical evidence for the ease of speciation
J Mallet - … Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological …, 2008 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Species are generally viewed by evolutionists as 'real'distinct entities in nature, making
speciation appear difficult. Charles Darwin had originally promoted a very different …
