Full description
In collaboration with the Shark Research Institute, Roland Mau and the rest of the Exmouth whale shark research group have been collecting tissue biopsy samples from whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef, and sending these to Dr. Schmidt's University of Illinois lab for genetic analysis. The first phase was identifying whale shark microsatellites, and using these to take a “first pass” at global whale shark population genetics.Lineage
