Harbor Porpoise and Beluga Whale Habitat Use in the Saguenay‐St. Lawrence Marine Park (Canada) Revealed by a Combination of Visual and Acoustic Survey

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Studying habitat use of cetaceans that spend most of their lives underwater poses challenges, prompting the use of complementary methods. Non‐invasive methods, land‐based surveys (LBS) and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), were used to characterize occurrence patterns of beluga whales, harbor porpoises, and vessels in the Saguenay–St ...

Foraging Ecology and Fisheries Interactions of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Inferred From Strandings in Western Iberian Atlantic Waters

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to

Exploring Progesterone Levels and Scaled Mass Index as Predictors of Pregnancy in Free‐Ranging Belugas

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Monitoring pregnancy rates can provide vital information regarding a population's viability and trajectory. This study combined drone‐based photogrammetry with biopsy darting to determine if the Scaled Mass Index (SMI) estimated from aerial images can be used to identify pregnant, free‐ranging St.

Vulnerability to Global Environmental Change? Isotopic Inference of a Resident Population of Common Bottlenose Dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, in a Coastal Lagoon in the Southern Gulf of Mexico

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Through the isotopic composition of 211 samples of six different tissues (muscle, liver, heart, kidney, spleen, and lung) obtained from 51 Tursiops truncatus strandings over nearly a decade (2013–2022), this study evaluated the impact of environmental variations on a resident population in a coastal lagoon in the southern Gulf of Mexico ...

Dwarf Minke Whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) Mother and Calf Ecology in East and Southern Australia

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Knowledge of mother–calf pairs, migratory patterns, female reproductive cycles, and birth‐year calf development are all essential for understanding risks in these critical life stages and monitoring little‐known dwarf minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) populations.

Comparative Investigation of the Effects of Season (Summer–Winter) and Sex on Tear Production and Intraocular Pressure in Saanen and Honamlı Goats

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effects of season (summer vs. winter) and sex on tear production (Schirmer tear test; STT‐I) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in Honamlı and Saanen goats raised under similar environmental conditions. Materials and Methods A total of 120 clinically healthy goats (Honamlı and Saanen; 30 females and 30 males per breed ...

Tropical Controls on West Antarctic Ice Sheet Surface Mass Balance Interannual Variability in the Twentieth Century

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) contains an ice volumetric equivalent of 5.3 m of global mean sea‐level rise. Understanding the climate mechanisms that influence WAIS surface mass balance (SMB) can help reduce uncertainties in sea‐level rise projections. Previous work has focused on trends related to temperature and the roles of well‐known
