Social cohesion among kin, gene flow without dispersal and the evolution of population genetic structure in the killer whale (Orcinus orca). (2009)
Journal Article
Pilot, M., Dahlheim, M., & Hoelzel, A. (2010). Social cohesion among kin, gene flow without dispersal and the evolution of population genetic structure in the killer whale (Orcinus orca). Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 23(1), 20-31. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1420-9101.2009.01887.x

In social species, breeding system and gregarious behavior are key factors influencing the evolution of large‐scale population genetic structure. The killer whale is a highly social apex predator showing genetic differentiation in sympatry between po...

Rapid Response of a Marine Mammal Species to Holocene Climate and Habitat Change (2009)
Journal Article
de Bruyn, M., Hall, B., Chauke, L., Baroni, C., Koch, P., & Hoelzel, A. (2009). Rapid Response of a Marine Mammal Species to Holocene Climate and Habitat Change. PLoS Genetics, 5(7), Article e1000554. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen.1000554

Environmental change drives demographic and evolutionary processes that determine diversity within and among species. Tracking these processes during periods of change reveals mechanisms for the establishment of populations and provides predictive da...
