Analysing population genomic data from killer whale ecotypes, which we estimate have globally radiated within less than 250,000 years, we show that genetic structuring including the segregation of ...

Ten different “ecotypes” of killer whales have now been proposed: populations that look different, have different prey preferences, feeding habits and acoustic behaviours. Also they may ...

Scientists distinguish these whale social groups by what are called ecotypes – distinct groups characterized by their behaviors, especially when it comes to feeding. Now a team at Scripps Institution ...

Phylogenetic analysis showed that two Ostreococcus ecotypes, until now rarely found to co-occur, were both present in the majority of samples. Ostreococcus ecotype OI reached 6,830 ± 343 gene copies ...

The killer whales that roam the waters of the Monterey Submarine Canyon, off the coast of California, are brutal animals. When hunting grey whales, they target mother and calf pairs, chasing them ...

Orca populations have been divided into ecotypes to account for differences in their behavior, diet, and more—but some scientists argue they're actually distinct species. Yet despite the ...

A study released by the University of Florida explores the nuanced differences between ecotypes and locally sourced plants ...

“It was kind of a shock when … we saw animals that were out in this open ocean habitat and were completely different from the other ecotypes we know.” Killer whales in the Pacific are ...

Scientists know of three distinct ecotypes of killer whales—offshore, transients, and residents—that make up the orca population along the California and Oregon coast. But a new study suggests ...

Shana Williams learns about microclimates and ecotype native plants with Steph of Green Steeze in Culpeper County. Featured on VHG episode 2408; October 2024. Virginia Home Grown is available to ...

They will share knowledge among this new network of beekeepers and learn the theoretical and practical bases of sustainable beekeeping, including the running of a professional apiary relying on local ...
