Data from: First circumglobal assessment of Southern Hemisphere humpback whale mitochondrial genetic variation and implications for management
The description of genetic population structure over a species’ geographic range can provide insights into its evolutionary history and also support effective management efforts.

Our results indicate that maternally directed site fidelity drives significant genetic population structure between breeding stocks within ocean basins. However, patterns of connectivity differ across the circumpolar range, possibly as a result of differences in the extent of longitudinal movements on feeding areas. The number of population comparisons observed to be significantly differentiated were found to diminish at the subpopulation scale when nucleotide differences were examined, indicating that more complex processes underlie genetic structure at this scale. It is crucial that these complexities and uncertainties are afforded greater consideration in management and regulatory efforts.
