摘要

Understanding the extent of population genetic connectivity in highly mobile marine species is vital for delineating management units. However,obtaining samples for generating genetic data is challenging for species inhabiting inaccessible pelagic waters. As a result, managementstrategies do not always align with underlying population biology. Marine strandings provide an accessible and cost-effective sample sourcefor research on elusive cetaceans and can be used collaboratively among stranding networks to generate ecosystem-wide population geneticassessments. Here, we used samples collected from strandings and free-ranging individuals across the North Atlantic to investigate populationstructure, genetic diversity, and individual relatedness in the Atlantic white-sided dolphin (AWSD; Lagenorhynchus acutus), a widely distributedmarine predator. Mitochondrial DNA sequences and nuclear DNA single-nucleotide polymorphisms showed a complete lack of population differentiationacross the species’ range, implying an unusual pattern of strong connectivity. No differences in genetic diversity among geographicregions and weak within-group relatedness further support the existence of species-wide panmixia in AWSD. This study emphasises the valueof long-term stranding collections for cetacean research and has important implications for AWSD conservation management.
