Journal ArticleDOI
related: an R package for analysing pairwise relatedness from codominant molecular markers.
TL;DR: A new R package is presented, called related, that can calculate relatedness based on seven estimators, can account for genotyping errors, missing data and inbreeding, and can estimate 95% confidence intervals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting recent speciation events: the case of the finless porpoise (genus Neophocaena).
TL;DR: A study conducted based on morphological characters and microsatellite and mitochondrial markers suggests that the two morphologically distinguishable forms of finless porpoise exist in sympatry in the strait of Taiwan and therefore represent different species as defined by the biological species concept.
Journal ArticleDOI
STORM: software for testing hypotheses of relatedness and mating patterns
TL;DR: STORM allows users to test a variety of hypotheses regarding patterns of relatedness and patterns of mate choice and/or mate compatibility within a population based on four main calculations that can be conducted either independently or in the hypothesis‐testing framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of male reproductive success in a highly promiscuous whale species: the endangered North Atlantic right whale

TL;DR: The results are consistent with previous data suggesting that the right whale mating system represents one of the most intense examples of sperm competition in mammals, but that sperm competition on its own does not allow for the same degree of polygyny as systems where males can control access to resources and/or mates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic analysis of 16th-century whale bones prompts a revision of the impact of Basque whaling on right and bowhead whales in the western North Atlantic
Toolika Rastogi,Moira W. Brown,Brenna A. McLeod,Timothy R. Frasier,Robert Grenier,Stephen L. Cumbaa,Jeya Nadarajah,Bradley N. White +7 more
TL;DR: Genetic analysis of 21 bones, 13 identified as right whales and 8 as bowhead whales through osteological examination, indicates that in fact only 1 bone was a right whale and 20 were bow head whales.
