| Summary: | The white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) (Linnaeus, 1758), an iconic apex predator occurring in all oceans, is classified as Vulnerable globally with global abundance having dropped to 63% of 1970s estimates, and Critically Endangered in Europe. Identification of Evolutionary Significant Units and their management are crucial for conservation, especially as the white shark is facing various but often region-specific anthropogenic threats. Here, combining target gene capture sequencing (89 individuals, 4,000 SNPs) and whole genome re-sequencing (17 individuals, 391,000 SNPs), with worldwide sampling across most of the distributional range we identify three genetically distinct allopatric lineages (North Atlantic, Indo-Pacific, North Pacific). ... : Funding provided by: Nord UniversityROR ID: https://ror.org/030mwrt98Award Number: ... |
