Angie Sremba and colleagues identified bones of humpback, blue, and fin whales near abandoned whaling stations on South Georgia Island. They found that while genetic diversity among the whales remains high, there are indications of a loss of maternal DNA lineages in the blue and humpback populations. The findings were published recently in the Journal of Heredity.
