Biological invasions create complex ecological
and societal issues worldwide. Most of the
knowledge about invasions comes only from successful
invaders, but less is known about which processes
determine the differential success of invasions. In this
review, we develop a framework to identify the main
dimensions driving the success and failure...

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 migratory culture, on the population structure of the endangered Australian and New Zealand southern right whale. Using DNA profiles, comprising mitochondrial DNA...

Capture-recapture studies offer a powerful tool to assess abundance, survival and population rate of change (λ). A previous capture-recapture study, based on DNA profiles, estimated that the IUCN-listed Endangered Oceania population of humpback whales had a superpopulation size of 4329 whales (95% confidence limits, CL: 3345, 5315) and λ =...

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...
