Description:Cetacean taxonomy continues to be in flux and molecular genetic analyses exam- ining alpha taxonomy in cetaceans have relied heavily on the mitochondrial DNA control region. However, there has been little consistency across studies; a variety of metrics and levels of divergence have been invoked when delimiting new cetacean species and subspecies. Using control region sequences, we explored, across pairs of well-recognized cetacean populations, subspecies, and species, a suite of metrics mea-
