Kogia Records in Brazilian Equatorial and Southwestern Atlantic Oceans

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales are cryptic cetaceans characterized by inconspicuous surfacing behavior, small group sizes, and deep‐diving habits, making visual detection particularly challenging. Here, we present the first broad‐scale passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) assessment of Kogia spp.

Group‐Specific Variation in Heterodyne Frequencies of Biphonic Calls in Resident (R‐Type) Killer Whales Orcinus orca ater

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Biphonation—the simultaneous production of two independent fundamental frequencies within a single vocalization—is a prominent feature of killer whale calls, yet the factors influencing the presence and intensity of heterodyne frequencies, which arise from interactions between these fundamentals, remain poorly understood. We analyzed long‐term

A Global Compilation of Blue Whale Strandings

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine mammal strandings are common occurrences that attract public and scientific interest. Stranding data can provide important information for rarely sighted species, but while regional and national stranding databases do exist in some areas, cross‐database communication and data sharing are limited.

Decreasing Sociality With Body Size in All‐Male Groups of Sperm Whales (Physeter macrocephalus)

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The costs and benefits of group living can influence animal group size and social relationships, and these balance points may shift as animals mature. Young male sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) appear to form stable all‐male groups unrelated to direct defense of females or territories, but quantitative data on how sociality changes with ...
