A population on the edge: genetic diversity and population structure of the world's northernmost harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)

2011-02-01

Abstract excerpt

It is crucial to examine the genetic diversity and structure of small, isolated populations, especially those at the edge of their distribution range, because they are vulnerable to stochastic processes if genetic diversity is low and the isolation level is high, and because such populations provide insight into the consequences of population declines in a broader conservation context. The harbour seal (Phoca vitu...
