Hybridization of Southern Hemisphere blue whale subspecies and a sympatric area off Antarctica : impacts of whaling or climate change?

Understanding the degree of genetic exchange between subspecies and populations is vital for the appropriate management of endangered species. Blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) have two recognized Southern Hemisphere subspecies that show differences in
