Tracing the drivers of range-wide bowhead whale genomic structure and diversity

2025-05-27

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how past environmental and anthropogenic factors shaped contemporary genetic patterns is essential for assessing the vulnerability of species in the face of ongoing climate change. The bowhead whale ( Balaena mysticetus ) – the only baleen whale found in the Arctic year-round – has a strong association with sea ice, long history of human exploitation, and a circumpolar distribution, making it a valu...
