This study uses genomic data from narwhals to show that habitat discontinuities and migration fidelity shape population structure, with low genetic diversity and inbreeding in small populations.

This study identifies three genetically distinct bowhead whale populations and links past habitat connectivity to current genetic structure, showing high genetic diversity despite historical whaling.

This study uses fossil data and modeling to show that commercial whaling caused genetic diversity loss in bowhead whales, threatening their resilience to future climate change.

This study examines if tusk anomalies in narwhals affect foraging ecology using genetic sexing and stable isotope analysis, finding no systematic impact but noting differences in isotopic values for specimens with unusual dentition.

This paper presents the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the Greenland shark, identifying genetic features associated with its extreme longevity and deep-sea adaptations.
