DNA Analysis of Juvenile Scalloped Hammerhead Sharks Sphyrna lewini (Griffith, 1834) Reveals Multiple Breeding Populations and Signs of Adaptive Divergence in the South Pacific

Shark species have undergone drastic population declines in recent decades due to overfishing and habitat destruction; thus, establishing connectivity among the populations of various shark species is important to determine the appropriate units and spatial scale for conservation and management, par...
