Hybrids between common and Antarctic minke whales are fertile and can back-cross
Glover, Kevin; Kanda, Naohisa; Haug, Tore; Pastene, Luis A.; Øien, Nils Inge; Seliussen, Bjørghild Breistein; Sørvik, Anne Grete Eide; Skaug, Hans J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-04-15)Background: Minke whales are separated into two genetically distinct species: the Antarctic minke whale found in the southern hemisphere, and the common minke whale which is cosmopolitan. The common minke whale is further ... -
Investigating population genetic structure in a highly mobile marine organism: The minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata acutorostrata in the North East Atlantic
Sanchez, Maria Quintela; Skaug, Hans J.; Øien, Nils Inge; Haug, Tore; Seliussen, Bjørghild Breistein; Solvang, Hiroko Kato; Pampoulie, Christophe; Kanda, Naohisa; Pastene, Luis A.; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-30)Inferring the number of genetically distinct populations and their levels of connectivity is of key importance for the sustainable management and conservation of wildlife. This represents an extra challenge in the marine ... -
Whole genome resequencing reveals diagnostic markers for investigating global migration and hybridization between minke whale species
Malde, Ketil; Seliussen, Bjørghild Breistein; Sanchez, Maria Quintela; Dahle, Geir; Besnier, Francois; Skaug, Hans J.; Øien, Nils Inge; Solvang, Hiroko Kato; Haug, Tore; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Kanda, Naohisa; Pastene, Luis A.; Jonassen, Inge; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01-13)Background: In the marine environment, where there are few absolute physical barriers, contemporary contact between previously isolated species can occur across great distances, and in some cases, may be inter-oceanic.
