A low level of genetic variation in mammalian populations where the census population size is relatively large has been attributed to various factors, such as a naturally small effective population size, historical bottlenecks and social behaviour. T... Read More about Low world-wide genetic diversity in the killer whale (Orcinus orca); Implications for demographic history.
