Redistribution of Cetaceans Based on Ocean Temperature Using Spatiotemporal Regression Models
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim A warming climate is predicted to drive shifts in marine species' distribution. Determining the environmental variables influencing the distribution and habitat use of large predators, such as cetaceans, is critical for conservation management, yet remains poorly understood.

The Potential Re‐Colonisation of Mediterranean Monk Seals: Evaluating Threats and Management Options
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Mediterranean monk seals (Monachus monachus; MMS) are a vulnerable marine species historically widespread throughout coastal areas of the Mediterranean, Black Sea and parts of the North Atlantic. MMS have suffered significant population declines and extirpations due to anthropogenic pressures, particularly persecution, overfishing and impacts ...

Evaluating Prey Availability for the Rice's Whale (Balaenoptera ricei) Based on Environmental DNA
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.To characterize the prey community of the critically endangered Rice's whale, we employed environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding in its core habitat. Our multi‐marker approach detected significantly greater fish biodiversity than concurrent trawl surveys and revealed a higher prevalence of key prey taxa.

Challenges of collecting blow from small cetaceans
Ecosphere, 2019 We trialed the collection of blow samples using a waterproof electric multirotor (quadcopter) drone from two free‐ranging dolphin species, the abundant and approachable bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) and the less common and boat shy humpback ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.This study presents preliminary observations using drone‐based infrared thermography (drone‐IRT) to detect localised skin temperature anomalies in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) under human care. Across 14 adults monitored, two individuals exhibited consistent hotspots 3°C–5°C warmer than surrounding body surfaces, corresponding with external

Hyperlipemia of Captive Bottlenose Dolphins during Pregnancy
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2005 In this study values for total cholesterol and triglycerides were measured in 110 blood samples taken from 360 days pre-partum to 90 days post-partum in ten parturitions of six bottlenose dolphins, and in 75 blood samples when the dolphins were not pregnant as a control group.
