Migratory movement and population structure of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeanglieae) in the central and eastern North Pacific
C. S. Baker,Louis M. Herman,A. Perry,WS Lawton,Janice M. Straley,AA Wolman,GD Kaufman,HE Winn,JD Hall,JM Reinke,J. Ostman +10 more
TL;DR: A comparison of photographs of individually identified humpback whale Megaptera novaeangliae were collected in regions throughout the central and eastern North Pacific during the years 1977 to 1983 as mentioned in this paper.
Hierarchical structure of mitochondrial DNA gene flow among humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae, world-wide.
C. S. Baker,Robert Slade,John Bannister,R. B. Abernethy,Mason T. Weinrich,J. Lien,J. Urban,Peter J. Corkeron,J. Calmabokidis,O. Vasquez,Stephen R. Palumbi +10 more
TL;DR: The humpback whale is a suitable demographic and genetic model for the management of less tractable species of baleen whales and for the general study of gene flow among long‐lived, mobile vertebrates in the marine ecosystem.

Population structure of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA variation among humpback whales in the North Pacific
C. S. Baker,Luis Medrano-González,Luis Medrano-González,John Calambokidis,A. Perry,F. Pichler,Howard C. Rosenbaum,Janice M. Straley,J. Urban-Ramirez,Manami Yamaguchi,O. von Ziegesar +10 more
TL;DR: Although the two feeding grounds were not panmictic for nuclear or mitochondrial loci, estimates of long‐term migration rates suggested that male‐mediated gene flow was several‐fold greater than female gene flow, providing additional evidence for the significance of genetic management units within oceanic populations of humpback whales.

DNA Surveillance: Web-Based Molecular Identification of Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises
Howard A. Ross,G. M. Lento,Merel L. Dalebout,Matthew Goode,Greg Ewing,P. McLaren,Allen G. Rodrigo,Shane Lavery,C. S. Baker +8 more
TL;DR: DNA Surveillance is a Web-based application that assists in the identification of the species and population of unknown specimens by aligning user-submitted DNA sequences with a validated and curated data set of reference sequences.
Loss of genetic diversity in the endemic Hector's dolphin due to fisheries-related mortality
F.B Pichler,C. S. Baker +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented of a significant loss of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity in two regional populations of Hector's dolphin in New Zealand, providing independent evidence of the severity of population decline and habitat contraction resulting from fisheries and perhaps other human activities.
