IDENTIFYING PYGMY AND DWARF SPERM WHALES (GENUS KOGIA) USING ELECTROSPRAY IONIZATION MASS SPECTROMETRY OF MYOGLOBIN AND HEMOGLOBIN

The differentiation of pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (K. sima) sperm whales has been problematic due to the morphological similarities between the two species. We report here a quick, efficient, and robust method for distinguishing the two species, based on differences in the molecular weights o...
