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.

We inferred the population densities of blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) and short-beaked
common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in the Northeast Pacific Ocean as functions
of the water-column’s physical structure by implementing hierarchical models in a Bayesian
framework. This approach allowed us to propagate the uncertainty of the field observations
into the...
