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.

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 ...

Geographical and Seasonal Distribution of Australian Pygmy Right Whales (Caperea marginata) Based on Passive Acoustics

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The pygmy right whale (Caperea marginata) is one of the least studied mysticete species. To shed light on its geographic and seasonal distribution, we compiled archival acoustic recordings from 26 sites across southern Australia and developed a deep‐learning detector for pygmy right whale “doublet” vocalizations.

Responsible Marine Wildlife Viewing [PDF]

, 2006
Marine wildlife viewing is good for Alaska's economy, and good for the participants' souls. But is it good for the animals? The answer is yes, if boaters and tide-poolers use care when near the animals.

Increasing Efficiency of Detection and Validation of Baleen Whale Call Presence on Large Acoustic Datasets: A Case Study Using Sei Whale Downsweeps Recorded in Atlantic Canada

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT As passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) datasets expand, studies increasingly use automated detectors to analyze baleen whale presence. However, detector errors like false positives (impacting precision, P; proportion of detected calls that are correct), and false negatives (impacting recall, R; proportion of available calls successfully detected)

Passive acoustic monitoring of baleen whales using autonomous gliders in relation to offshore wind energy areas in the New York Bight

Endangered Species Research
The rapid expansion of offshore wind development in the northeast USA has amplified the need to understand baseline patterns of habitat use for protected species relative to offshore wind lease areas.
