Cetaceans and cetacean research in India
J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023 The diversity of cetacean species in Indian waters is high, with 25 species recorded so far. Records of cetaceans from India during the last 200 years have provided insights into their spatiotemporal distribution, behaviour, feeding, reproduction ...

Cetacean epidermal specialization: A review
Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series C: Anatomia Histologia Embryologia, 2022 Cetacean skin continues to be the investigative focus of researchers from several different scientific disciplines. Yet, most research on the basic functions of lipo‐keratinocytes, which constitute most of the cetacean epidermis, providing the first ...

Impacts of climate change on cetacean distribution, habitat and migration
Climate Change Ecology, 2021 Climatic changes have had significant impacts on marine ecosystems, including apex predators such as cetaceans. A more complete understanding of the potential impacts of climate change on cetaceans is necessary to ensure their conservation.

Causes and consequences of female centrality in cetacean societies
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Cetaceans are fully aquatic predatory mammals that have successfully colonized virtually all marine habitats. Their adaptation to these habitats, so radically different from those of their terrestrial ancestors, can give us comparative insights into the ...

Virtopsy as a Revolutionary Tool for Cetacean Stranding Programs: Implementation and Management
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 On top of conventional necropsy, virtopsy (postmortem computed tomography and postmortem magnetic resonance imaging) has been integrated into the Cetacean Stranding Response Programme in Hong Kong since March 2014.

Current knowledge of the cetacean fauna of the Greek Seas
J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023 From 1991-2002 data on the presence and distribution of cetaceans in the Greek Seas have been systematically collated in a database (821 sightings and 715 strandings). Data originated from dedicated surveys, stranding reports, opportunistic sightings and

A review of cetacean interactions with longline gear
J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023 Fishery-cetacean interactions, including those with longline gear, give rise to economic, ecological and social concerns. This paper reviews problems resulting from cetacean-longline interactions, considers potential strategies to reduce interactions and

Composition of cetacean communities worldwide shapes their contribution to ocean nutrient cycling
Nature Communications, 2023 Defecation by large whales is known to fertilise oceans with nutrients, stimulating phytoplankton and ecosystem productivity. However, our current understanding of these processes is limited to a few species, nutrients and ecosystems.
