Stable isotopes provide insight into population structure and segregation in eastern North Atlantic sperm whales.
In pelagic species inhabiting large oceans, genetic differentiation tends to be mild and populations devoid of structure. However, large cetaceans have provided many examples of structuring. Here we investigate whether the sperm whale, a pelagic species with large population sizes and reputedly high...
