Microsatellite genotype matches of eastern Australian humpback whales to area V feeding and breeding grounds
Recent mitochondrial DNA analyses have determined Eastern Australian humpback whales to be one of 3 distinct sub-stocks within IWC BS-E. Using microsatellite genotypes (up to 12 microsatellite loci, mtDNA sequence data and molecular sex identification) from Eastern Australia (n=734 unique individual...
