Two decades of genetic profiling yields first evidence of natal philopatry and long-term fidelity to parturition sites in sharks

Two decades of genetic profiling yields first evidence of natal philopatry and long-term fidelity to parturition sites in sharks

Sharks are a globally threatened group of marine fishes that often breed in their natal region of origin. There has even been speculation that female sharks return to their exact birthplace to breed ('natal philopatry'), which would have important conservation implications. Genetic profili...
