Mixing of porpoise ecotypes in southwestern UK waters revealed by genetic profiling

Mixing of porpoise ecotypes in southwestern UK waters revealed by genetic profiling

Contact zones between ecotypes are windows for understanding how species may react to climate changes. Here, we analysed the fine-scale genetic and morphological variation in harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) around the UK by genotyping 591 stranded animals at nine microsatellite loci. The data...
