Panmictic population structure in the hooded seal ( Cystophora cristata)
Abstract Two putative populations of hooded seals ( Cystophora cristata ) occur in the North Atlantic. The Greenland Sea population pup and breed on the pack ice near Jan Mayen (‘West Ice’) while the Northwest Atlantic population is thought to pup in the Davis Strait, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (th...
