The evolutionary shadows of whaling.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Apr 2026

Rodrigues Ana S L, Acoca-Pidolle Samson

Abstract excerpt

Bowhead whales were nearly wiped out by commercial whaling, but they are now generally recovering. A new study by Westbury et al. examines the impact of whaling on the genetic diversity of the Atlantic populations and its potential effect on their long-term ability to respond to future environmental changes.
