**Acknowledgements**

We thank crew members, researchers and many other persons for the collection of genetic samples from minke whales from different sources, which made possible the studies reviewed in this chapter. We also thank Greg Donovan, former Head of Science of the International Whaling Commission, for useful comments and suggestions that improved substantially the previous version of this chapter. Our appreciation to Jorge Acevedo and Lucas Milmann for their assistance in figure drawing.
