| genetic diversity and population structure of the pelagic thresher shark (alopias pelagicus) in the pacific ocean: evidence for two evolutionarily significant units. | there has been an increasing concern about shark overexploitation in the last decade, especially for open ocean shark species, where there is a paucity of data about their life histories and population dynamics. little is known regarding the population structure of the pelagic thresher shark, alopias pelagicus. though an earlier study using mtdna control region data, showed evidence for differences between eastern and western pacific populations, the study was hampered by low sample size and spa ... | 2014 | 25337814 |
