Interspecific introgression in cetaceans: DNA markers reveal post-F1 status of a pilot whale.

Interspecific introgression in cetaceans: DNA markers reveal post-F1 status of a pilot whale.

Visual species identification of cetacean strandings is difficult, especially when dead specimens are degraded and/or species are morphologically similar. The two recognised pilot whale species (Globicephala melas and Globicephala macrorhynchus) are sympatric in the North Atlantic Ocean. These speci...
