Population genetic divergence of bonnethead sharks Sphyrna tiburo in the western North Atlantic: Implications for conservation
Abstract Sharks are a priority for conservation because numerous species, including small‐sized coastal species, are being heavily exploited by commercial and recreational fisheries. Understanding the genetic population structure of sharks is key to effective management, maximizing their evolutionar...

Abstract Sharks are a priority for conservation because numerous species, including small‐sized coastal species, are being heavily exploited by commercial and recreational fisheries.
