Dental Ageing Offers New Insights Into the First Epigenetic Clock for Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
We present the first species‐specific epigenetic clock for common dolphins (Delphinus delphis), calibrated using dental ages from stranded and bycaught individuals. Despite concerns about dental ageing accuracy, our models showed strong performance and were unaffected by decomposition, supporting the use of post‐mortem samples for epigenetic clock ...

Semi‐Automated Detection of Right Whales (Eubalaena spp.) in Very High‐Resolution Satellite Imagery

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 4, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Space‐based detection of whales is proliferating because it shows promise as a monitoring tool, yet tests of its application across taxa and environments are rare. The objective of this study was to develop an end‐to‐end, semi‐automated procedure for detecting two right whale species ( Eubalaena glacialis and E.

FInCH: Fast statistical inference for continuous‐time animal movement

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1437-1459, July 2025.
Abstract It is common for movement ecologists to model individual‐level animal movement in discrete time using methods such as hidden Markov models (HMMs). Although often the fitting of HMMs is computationally efficient, the key assumptions required to model in discrete time become limiting when dealing with temporally irregular data or an animal that ...

A computational framework to characterize and compare the tonal repertoires of toothed whales

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1350-1368, July 2025.
Abstract Toothed whales, despite being one of the most acoustically specialized lineages of vertebrates, lack detailed vocal repertoire characterizations comparable to those of songbirds and primates. Current descriptions often lack standardization, limiting interspecies and intraspecies comparisons critical for understanding the contribution of ...
