Migratory culture, population structure and stock identity in North Pacific beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas)
Table 5
Genetic differentiation (Fst) between post-dispersal age cohorts of beluga whales from the eastern Chukchi (Kasegaluk Lagoon) and the Beaufort Seas (Mackenzie-Amundsen).
Pairwise estimates for mtDNA are below the diagonal and for microsatellites above the diagonal. Analyses were conducted on all adults (A) and on all large, and presumably older, adults (B). Sample sizes (n) for the mtDNA comparisons are in column 2 and for microsatellites in row 3. Estimates of age were based on the number of growth layer groups (GLGs) in sectioned teeth.
