Evolutionary history and seascape genomics of Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) across environmental gradients in the North Atlantic and adjacent waters
Abstract:The Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is a highly mobile cetacean
species which primarily occurs in coastal and shelf waters across the
Northern hemisphere. It inhabits heterogeneous seascapes that vary
broadly in salinity and temperature. Here we produced 74 whole genomes
at intermediate coverage to study Harbour porpoise’s evolutionary
history and investigate the role of local adaptation in the
diversification into subspecies and populations. We identified
~6 million high quality SNPs sampled at 8 localit… Show more
