However, despite being a highly migratory species, little is known about how the different populations worldwide interact with each other. This lack of knowledge hinders conservation efforts aimed at protecting this endangered animal. H\u00e9ctor Guzm\u00e1n, a marine biologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, alongside Caitlin Beaver of the U.S. Geological Survey and Edgardo D\u00edaz-Ferguson of Coiba Scientific Station, set out to start bridging this knowledge gap.<\/p>\n<p>By snorkeling around Coiba National Park and in the Gulf of Chiriqu\u00ed, in Pacific Panama, Guzm\u00e1n collected tissue samples from 21 solitary sharks. The team conducted genetic analyses on them and found out that they were highly diverse, with similarities to populations of whale sharks found in the Arabian Gulf, Western Indian Ocean, Mexico, and the Gulf of California.<\/p>\n<div id=\"974871025\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_141470\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scitechdaily.com\/images\/Whale-Shark-Smithsonian-Tropical-Research-Institute.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-141470\" src=\"https:\/\/scitechdaily.com\/images\/Whale-Shark-Smithsonian-Tropical-Research-Institute-777x417.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scitechdaily.com\/images\/Whale-Shark-Smithsonian-Tropical-Research-Institute-777x417.jpg 777w, https:\/\/scitechdaily.com\/images\/Whale-Shark-Smithsonian-Tropical-Research-Institute-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/scitechdaily.com\/images\/Whale-Shark-Smithsonian-Tropical-Research-Institute-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/scitechdaily.com\/images\/Whale-Shark-Smithsonian-Tropical-Research-Institute-1536x825.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/scitechdaily.com\/images\/Whale-Shark-Smithsonian-Tropical-Research-Institute.jpg 1919w\" alt=\"Whale Shark Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute\" width=\"777\" height=\"417\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-141470\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Due to the long distances traveled by whale sharks, transboundary measures may be more effective for the conservation of this endangered species. Credit: Candy K. Real<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>These results, which were published in Frontiers in Marine Science, suggest that whale sharks can travel over long distances and that transboundary conservation measures such as marine corridors may be effective for species conservation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine Qatar: a possible journey of more than 27,000 kilometers from Panama for this species,\u201d said Guzman. \u201cThis observed connectivity amazed us, revealing a real political challenge for the protection and conservation of whale sharks. It seems no longer a local or regional concern, but a global issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite its small sample size, this study serves as a baseline for understanding the genetic diversity and population connectivity of this species, whose numbers have declined by half over the last forty years according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This type of data is necessary for deciphering the migration patterns of whale sharks, which are difficult to observe directly over the long term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this publication we contribute to unravel migration and genetic connectivity patterns of transient whale sharks, evidencing the importance of Pacific Panama as a key area for connectivity of the species,\u201d said Diaz-Ferguson.<\/p>\n<p>Reference: \u201cNovel Insights Into the Genetic Population Connectivity of Transient Whale Sharks (<em>Rhincodon typus<\/em>) in Pacific Panama Provide Crucial Data for Conservation Efforts\u201d by H\u00e9ctor M.
