Talking About the Weather: The Feasibility of Using Very High‐Resolution Optical Satellite Imagery to Monitor Live and Stranded Cetaceans Around the UK and UK Overseas Territories

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Monitoring live and stranded cetaceans can be expensive and logistically challenging, resulting in knowledge gaps. Very high‐resolution (VHR) optical satellites are considered a potential solution to addressing some of these gaps. Despite success at detecting live and stranded cetaceans, satellites have only been trialed on restricted ...

A Detailed Characterization of the Whistle Repertoire of Fraser's Dolphins (Lagenodelphis hosei) From the Lesser Antilles

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fraser's dolphin (Lagenodelphis hosei) remains poorly studied due to its elusive behavior, rarity, and preference for deep offshore habitats. While dolphins use frequency‐modulated whistles for communication, detailed acoustic descriptions exist for only a few species.

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 ...

First Comprehensive Study of Telomere Length Measured by Southern Blot Hybridization and Oxidative Stress Across 12 Captive Marine Mammal Species

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 ...

Aerodynamic Design of Buses Inspired by Beluga Whales

, 2022
Abstract New bus designs inspired by the perfect streamlined body shapes of beluga whales are presented. The bodies are drawn using the UNIGRAPHICS program. The drag forces and the drag coefficients of variants of the new bus models are determined both experimentally and numerically.

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.
