Genome-wide SNP data suggest complex ancestry of sympatric North Pacific killer whale ecotypes.

Heredity - 1 Nov 2016

Foote A D, Morin P A

Abstract excerpt

Three ecotypes of killer whale occur in partial sympatry in the North Pacific. Individuals assortatively mate within the same ecotype, resulting in correlated ecological and genetic differentiation. A key question is whether this pattern of evolutionary divergence is an example of incipient sympatric speciation from a single panmictic ancestral population, or whether sympatry could have resulted from multiple...
