Abstract
Humpback whales wintering in tropical waters along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the South American continent are thought to represent distinct populations or “stocks.” Here we present the first analysis of genetic differentiation and estimates of gene flow between these breeding stocks, based on both mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA ) control region sequences (465 bp) and 16 microsatellite loci from samples collected off Brazil ( n = 277) and...
