Mitogenomic evidence of population differentiation of thorny skate, Amblyraja radiata, in the North Atlantic

Management of thorny skate (Amblyraja radiata) in the Northwest Atlantic has posed a conservation dilemma for several decades due to the species' lack of response to strong conservation efforts in the US Gulf of Maine and the Canadian Scotian Shelf, confusion over the relationship between two r...
