Biodiversity underlies ecosystem resilience, ecosystem function, sustainable economies,
and human well‐being. Understanding how biodiversity sustains ecosystems under …

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 “ecotypes…

We introduce the r package stratag as a user‐friendly population genetics toolkit. stratag
provides easy access to a suite of standard genetic summaries as well as the ability to rapidly …

Photographic and genetic studies have revealed the complex population structure of migratory
large whales. Most research and management are geographically based, focusing on …

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

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

We studied life history characteristics of the Hong Kong/Pearl River Estuary population of
Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis), based on data from 120 specimens …

The vaquita is the most critically endangered marine mammal, with fewer than 19 remaining
in the wild. First described in 1958, the vaquita has been in rapid decline for more than 20 …

Coastal and offshore bottlenose dolphins in California waters are currently assessed and
managed as separate stocks. Recent molecular studies (of mtDNA haplotypes and …

We use mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) (400 bp), six microsatellites and 36 single‐nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs), 20 of which were linked, to investigate population structure of sperm …
