Speciation in the deep:genomics and morphology reveal a new species of beaked whale Mesoplodon eueu
The deep sea has been described as the last major ecological frontier, as much of its biodiversity is yet to be discovered and described. Beaked whales (ziphiids) are among the most visible inhabitants of the deep sea, due to their large size and worldwide distribution, and their taxonomic diversity...
