Genetic diversity and demographic history of the leopard seal: A Southern Ocean top predator.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2023

Abstract excerpt

Leopard seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) are top predators that can exert substantial top-down control of their Antarctic prey species. However, population trends and genetic diversity of leopard seals remain understudied, limiting our understanding of their ecological role. We investigated the genetic diversity, effective population size and demographic history of leopard seals to provide fundamental data that...
