Fecal Material of Captive Wild Animals as Source of CAZymes With Application Potential

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
With the goal to identify a novel resource of enzymes, we tested for the potential of fecal metagenomes of captive wild animals to provide CAZymes. Our data show that CAZymes profiles differed between animals with varying gut physiology and diet, and that metagenomes of captive wild animals can be considered source of diverse CAZymes including rare and

Navigating Cetacean Mitochondrial Genome Data: Identifying Coverage and Deficiencies in Public Repositories

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
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.

Integrating the needs of recovering populations of baleen whales into the revised management framework for the commercial fishery for Antarctic krill

Frontiers in Marine Science
We consider how the ongoing recovery of baleen whale populations requires improved understanding when managing the largest commercial fishery in the Southern Ocean, the fishery for Antarctic krill.

Distribution and migrations of cetaceans in the Russian Arctic according to observations from aerial ice reconnaissance

NAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2002
This paper is based on 748 observations of belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) and 382 observations of baleen whales in the Russian Arctic, the majority of the data provided by aerial reconnaissance of sea ice (ARSI).

Challenges of Monitoring Endangered Bryde's Whales During a Period of Rapid Environmental Change

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 183-193, April 2026.
Estimating population size is challenging for rare and elusive species that occur at low densities and are difficult to detect during sampling. We estimated the abundance of a Nationally critical whale species—Aotearoa New Zealand Bryde's whales—using a custom‐formulated POPAN model which incorporated transience to account for their complex residency ...

Characterizing the Duration and Severity of Fishing Gear Entanglement on a North Atlantic Right Whale (Eubalaena glacialis) Using Stable Isotopes, Steroid and Thyroid Hormones in Baleen

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) are highly endangered and frequently exposed to a myriad of human activities and stressors in their industrialized habitat. Entanglements in fixed fishing gear represent a particularly pervasive and often
