Genetic structure of the beaked whale genus Berardiusin the North Pacific, with genetic evidence for a new species
Abstract There are two recognized species in the genus Berardius , Baird's and Arnoux's beaked whales. In Japan, whalers have traditionally recognized two forms of Baird's beaked whales, the common “slate‐gray” form and a smaller, rare “black” form. Previous comparison of mt DNA contr...
