In the largest study of its kind to date, researchers from @TheWCS and other groups used mitochondrial DNA—different from nuclear DNA in that it helps scientists trace maternal lineages—from more than 3,000 individual humpback whales across the Southern Hemisphere and Arabian Sea to examine how whale populations are related. They found population structure is largely driven by female #whales that return annually to the same breeding grounds and by the early experiences of calves that accompany their mothers on their first round-trip to the feeding grounds.
