World‐wide genetic differentiation of Eubalaena: questioning the number of right whale species
Abstract

Little morphological evidence exists to support the current species designations for Eubalaena glacialis in the northern hemisphere and E. australis in the southern hemisphere. Differences in migratory behaviour or antitropical distribution between right whales …
