Strong maternal fidelity and natal philopatry shape genetic structure in North Pacific humpback whales
C. Scott Baker,Debbie Steel,John Calambokidis,Erin A. Falcone,Úrsula González-Peral,Jay Barlow,Alexander M. Burdin,Phillip J. Clapham,John K. B. Ford,Christine M. Gabriele,David K. Mattila,Lorenzo Rojas-Bracho,Janice M. Straley,Barbara L. Taylor,Jorge Urbán,Paul R. Wade,David W. Weller,Briana H. Witteveen,Manami Yamaguchi +18 more
TL;DR: Feeding and breeding regions showed significant differences in haplotype frequencies, even for regions known to be strongly connected by patterns of individual migration, suggesting the influence of migra- tory fidelity seems to operate somewhat independently on feeding and breeding grounds over an evolutionary time scale.

Quinn,Lorenzo Rojas-Bracho,Janice M. Straley,Barbara L. Taylor,R Jorge Urbán,Paul R. Wade,David W. Weller,Briana H. Witteveen,Manami Yamaguchi +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimated the abundance of humpback whales in the North Pacific by capture-recapture methods using over 18,000 fluke identification photographs collected in 2004-2006.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a molecular comparison of the western gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) based on differences in haplotypic frequencies and conclude that these populations are genetically separated at the population-level.
Sea otters, kelp forests, and the extinction of Steller's sea cow.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the directly caused extinctions of a few large vertebrates in the late Pleistocene may have resulted in the coextinction of numerous other species is supported.

Geographic Variation in Sea Otters, Enhydra lutris
TL;DR: Wilson et al. as mentioned in this paper performed a multivariate and multivariate analysis of 20 skull characters of 304 adult sea otters from throughout the geographic range and concluded that three subspecies of E. l. lutris should be recognized.
