Estimating Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) Age Using Epigenetic Analysis of Skin
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Age is an important parameter to understand species life‐history characteristics. Recently, DNA methylation methods have emerged as innovative tools to estimate the age of marine mammals. Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) epigenetic age estimates were computed using beluga (Delphinapterus leucas), killer whale (Orcinus orca), bowhead (Balaena ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Telomeres, repetitive nucleotide sequences at chromosome ends, shorten with oxidative damage and cell replication, and are increasingly used as biomarkers of stress and physiological state. Despite this potential, telomere length (TL) in marine mammals has been measured using Southern blot hybridization in only a few cases, often from ...

Exploring Marine Mammal Cognition as a Conservation Tool
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities.

Sustainable pH‐Responsive Indicator of Meat Freshness Applied to Pork Packaging
Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This research explores the potential of a biopolymeric film as a colorimetric indicator to monitor pork freshness through pH changes. Jaboticaba epicarp extracts were obtained via maceration and analyzed for their total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and total anthocyanin content.

A Multistrategy Improved Archimedes Optimization Algorithm for Solving Engineering Problems
Journal of Mathematics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Given the shortcomings of the Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA), the traditional AOA exhibits the following limitations: the initialization phase employs a uniform 0‐1 random number distribution to generate sequences, resulting in limited diversity of initial solutions.
