Morbillivirus-host interaction: Lessons from aquatic mammals [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 In the last 25 years, no less than 10 dramatic morbilliviral epidemics have occurred among free-ranging pinniped and cetacean species and populations worldwide. The origin(s) of the new Morbillivirus genus members causing these mass mortality events, along with the reason(s) behind their “sudden” appearance among wild aquatic mammals, are totally ...

Physiological Reports, 2023 While basal metabolic rate (BMR) scales proportionally with body mass (Mb), it remains unclear whether the relationship differs between mammals from aquatic and terrestrial habitats. We hypothesized that differences in BMR allometry would be reflected in

Tidal and seasonal influences in dolphin habitat use in a southern Brazilian estuary
Scientia Marina, 2017 In this study we describe how franciscana and Guiana dolphin habitat use is influenced by tidal cycles and seasonality in Babitonga Bay. The franciscanas use a greater area in winter and a smaller area in summer, but the extent of the area used did not ...

Use of the FLOTAC technique as a new coproparasitological diagnostic method in aquatic mammals and comparison with traditional methods [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 The inadequate choice of a diagnostic method or the option for techniques that have low sensitivity and specificity may limit the diagnosis of parasitic agents that affect aquatic mammals.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background Most fatty acids (FAs) making up the adipose tissue in mammals have a dietary origin and suffer little modification when they are stored. However, we propose that some of those FAs, specifically those that can be synthesised or modified by ...

Eye morphology of Guiana dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) and Clymene dolphins (Stenella clymene)
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Recent studies showed that vision and hearing in dolphins are mechanisms for perception of the environment, and transmission of information among individuals.

Anatomical adaptations of aquatic mammals [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2007 AbstractThis special issue of the Anatomical Record explores many of the anatomical adaptations exhibited by aquatic mammals that enable life in the water. Anatomical observations on a range of fossil and living marine and freshwater mammals are presented, including sirenians (manatees and dugongs), cetaceans (both baleen whales and toothed whales ...

Aquatic habitat use in a semi-aquatic mammal: the Eurasian beaver [PDF]
Animal Biotelemetry, 2021 AbstractBackgroundSemi-aquatic mammals exploit resources both on land and in water and may require both to meet their habitat requirements including food- and building resources, refuges, and for social interactions with conspecifics. Within this, the specific availability of both terrestrial and aquatic resources is expected to impact individual ...
