No evidence of population stratification was evident from the data: the fixation index for all combined loci was 0.003 (0.001-0.005) (95% bootstrap confidence interval).
Further, it has been described as uncommon with evidence of population decline and major threats.
There is strong evidence of population declines in California, especially since the late 1980s.
In short, Rose has confused a lack of data from some sub-populations with "no evidence" of population decline.
We provide the first quantitative evidence of population decline in a delphinid from Brazilian waters.
Although bowhead whales are currently separated into five geographical stocks for management purposes, there is little genetic evidence of population structuring.
There is increasing evidence of population declines and localized extinctions that can be directly attributed to climate change.
At a very local scale within the Guangdong province, we observed evidence of population structure among dialect groups, probably on account of endogamy within these dialects.
One is to look for evidence of population bottlenecks in other species, especially animals that were not hunted by the Clovis people.
Even for studies based on very few samples and early detection, such as for the parrotfish Scarus ghobban, there was no evidence of population bottlenecks as shown by unique haplotypes for each of the five sampled individuals34.
It received this categorization due to its substantial estimated range, about 11,400 km2 and, although population size has not been quantified and it has been described as uncommon, there is no evidence of population declines or major threats.
