One Sea, Different Whales: Genomics Sheds Light on a Small Population of Fin Whales

2025-06-19

Abstract excerpt

Whales play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, yet many populations face growing environmental pressures. Among them, the fin whale, Balaenoptera physalus , from the Mediterranean Sea remains poorly characterized at the genomic level despite its classification as Endangered and decreasing in population size due to habitat degradation, climate change, and human-induced disturbances. Previous studies based on bio...
