Patterns of population structure for inshore bottlenose dolphins along the eastern United States.
Globally distributed, the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is found in a range of offshore and coastal habitats. Using 15 microsatellite loci and mtDNA control region sequences, we investigated patterns of genetic differentiation among putative populations along the eastern US shoreline (the Indian River Lagoon, Florida, and Charleston Harbor, South Carolina) (microsatellite analyses: n ...
متن کاملTrawling and bottlenose dolphins' social structure.
Human activities can affect the behaviour of mammals through the modification of habitats, changes in predation pressure or alterations in food distribution and availability. We analysed the association and ranging patterns of 242 individually identified bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in eastern Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia, and distinguished two separate communities of dolphins. ...
متن کاملContrasting patterns of genetic diversity and population structure of Armillaria mellea sensu stricto in the eastern and western United States.
ABSTRACT Armillaria mellea infects hundreds of plant species in natural and managed ecosystems throughout the Northern hemisphere. Previously reported nuclear genetic divergence between eastern and western U.S. isolates is consistent with the disjunct range of A. mellea in North America, which is restricted mainly to both coasts of the United States. We investigated patterns of population struc...
متن کاملPopulation Genetic Structure of Coastal Bottlenose Dolphins (tursiops Truncatus) in the Northern Bahamas
Population substructure has important implications for a species’ ecology and evolution. As such, knowledge of this structuring is critical for the conservation and management of natural populations. Among marine mammals, many examples exist of species that enjoy a broad geographical distribution, yet are characterized by fine-scale population subdivisions. Coastal bottlenose dolphins have been...
متن کاملQuantifying the influence of sociality on population structure in bottlenose dolphins.
1. The social structure of a population plays a key role in many aspects of its ecology and biology. It influences its genetic make-up, the way diseases spread through it and the way animals exploit their environment. However, the description of social structure in nonprimate animals is receiving little attention because of the difficulty in abstracting social structure from the description of ...
