What do humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae (Cetartiodactyla: Balaenopteridae) pairs do after tagging? [PDF]

Zoologia, 2014
The social structure of humpback whales in their tropical wintering grounds is very fluid. To date, no information has been published for cases in which two whales were both satellite-tagged while in association.

Behavioral responses of humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae (Cetacea: Balaenopteridae), to satellite transmitter deployment procedures [PDF]

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2010
Tagging whales with implantable satellite transmitters creates the possibility of disturbing the animals. Between 2003 and 2005, behavioral observations of humpback whales during tag deployment operations were conducted off the coast of Brazil from the ...

Mitochondrial DNA-based investigation of dead rorqual (Cetacea: Balaenopteridae) from the west coast of India

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences
The study assessed the utility of mitochondrial DNA for identifying a deceased rorqual discovered off the western coast of India. Both the COI and Cytb genes exhibited remarkable 99-100% similarity with the GenBank sequence of Balaenoptera musculus ...

Navigating Cetacean Mitochondrial Genome Data: Identifying Coverage and Deficiencies in Public Repositories. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Genetic reference databases underpin a wide range of molecular approaches used to study cetacean biodiversity, including environmental DNA (eDNA), yet their reliability depends critically on data completeness, taxonomic accuracy, and metadata quality.

Drivers of Viral Diversity and Sharing in Marine Mammals. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Knowledge of viral infection in marine mammals, a group severely threatened by human activity, is largely limited to the pathology and epidemiology of few endemic viruses. The recent emergence in marine mammals of high‐consequence viruses, such as H5N1 avian influenza and rabies, underscores the importance of understanding the ecology of viral
