Sequence variation of a 238 bp segment of the mitochondrial control region was analyzed for 1,568 Steller sea lions (2.8% of the estimated species population) sampled from 50 rookeries representing nearly every locality at which Steller sea lions are known to breed in significant numbers. Haplotype...
