Histochemical indications for a chemically complex signal produced by the cervical gill slit gland of the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) possesses an exocrine gland associated with its false gill slit pigmentation pattern. The cervical gill slit gland is a compound tubuloalveolar gland that produces a holocrine secretion and displays maturational changes in size and secretory histology. While the morphology of the cervical gill slit gland

International Review of Hydrobiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River dolphins are the least studied and most threatened cetaceans. Anthropogenic activities, including habitat fragmentation, pollution, and declining fish stocks, pose significant challenges to their survival. This study evaluated the effects of landscape changes resulting from human activity on the encounter rates of the putative species of
