Creator:: Constantine, Rochelle, Jackson, Jennifer A., Steel, Debbie, Baker, C. Scott, Brooks, Lyndon, Burns, Daniel, Clapham, Phillip, Hauser, Nan, Madon, Benedicte, Mattila, David, Oremus, Marc, Poole, Michael, Robbins, Jooke, Thompson, Kirsten, and Garrigue, Claire
Abstract:: Estimating the abundance of long-lived, migratory animals is challenging but essential for managing populations. We provide the first abundance estimates of endangered humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae from their breeding grounds in Oceania, South Pacific. Using fluke photo-identification (1999−2004, n = 660 individuals) and microsatellite genotypes (1999−2005, n = 840 individuals),...

B., Gabriele, Christine M., Mattila, David, Rojas-Bracho, Lorenzo, Straley, Janice M., Taylor, Barbara L., Urbán, Jorge, Wade, Paul R., Weller, David, Witteveen, Briana H., and Yamaguchi, Manami
Abstract:: We quantified the relative influence of maternal fidelity to feeding grounds and natal fidelity to breeding grounds on the population structure of humpback whales Megaptera novae-angliae based on an ocean-wide survey of mitochondrial (mt) DNA diversity in the North Pacific. For 2193 biopsy samples collected from whales in 10 feeding...

Creator:: Baker, C. Scott, Hutt, A., Thompson, K., Dalebout, M. L., Robins, J., Brownell, R. L., Jr., and Stone, G. S.
Abstract:: We investigated the species identity and local use of cetaceans on the Gilbert Islands, Republic of Kiribati. Working with the Kiribati Ministry of Environment, Lands and Agricultural Development and Fisheries Division, we visited the islands of Tarawa, Tabiteuea (North), Butaritari and Onotoa from June to July 2009, and collected 24...

Creator:: Dalebout, Merel L., Baker, C. Scott, Steel, Debbie, and et al.
Abstract:: We present genetic and morphological evidence supporting the recognition of a previously synonymized species of Mesoplodon beaked whale in the tropical Indo-Pacific, Mesoplodon hotaula. Although the new species is closely-related to the rare ginkgo-toothed beaked whale M. ginkgodens, we show that these two lineages can be differentiated by maternally (mitochondrial...

Abstract:: The interplay of natural selection and genetic drift, influenced by geographic isolation, mating systems and population size, determines patterns of genetic diversity within species. The sperm whale provides an interesting example of a long-lived species with few geographic barriers to dispersal. Worldwide mtDNA diversity is relatively low, but highly structured...
