Calculating limits to the allowable human‐caused mortality of cetaceans and pinnipeds
TL;DR: In this article, a simulation method was developed for identifying populations with levels of human-caused mortality that could lead to depletion, taking into account the uncertainty of available information, and a mortality limit was calculated as the product of a minimum population estimate (NMIN), one-half of the maximum net productivity rate (RMAX), and a recovery factor (FR).

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis indicated that each of the known ecotypes represents a strongly supported clade with divergence times ranging from approximately 150,000 to 700,000 yr ago, and it is predicted that phylogeographic mitogenomics will become an important tool for improved statistical phyloGeography and more precise estimates of divergence times.

TL;DR: Analysis of population genomic data from killer whale ecotypes shows that genetic structuring including the segregation of potentially functional alleles is associated with socially inherited ecological niche, consistent with expansion of small founder groups into novel niches by an initial plastic behavioural response.
Feeding ecology of eastern North Pacific killer whales Orcinus orca from fatty acid, stable isotope, and organochlorine analyses of blubber biopsies

TL;DR: Fatty acid, stable isotope and PCB profiles of the resident and transient ecotypes were consistent with those expected for these whales based on their reported dietary preferences, and these ecotype profiles exhibited broad similarity across geographical regions, suggesting that the dietary specialization reported for residents and transient whales in the well-studies eastern North Pacific populations also extends to the less-studied killer whales inThe western Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands.
Strong maternal fidelity and natal philopatry shape genetic structure in North Pacific humpback whales

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.
