Assessing Cetacean Habitat Suitability in the Northeast Pacific From Citizen Science Data
Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim Citizen science is an important source of biodiversity information, particularly for gathering information on species distributions across large geographic areas. However, there are challenges with spatial and species biases, and variation in effort in citizen science data.

Environmental and Evolutionary Forces Shaping Penguin Geographic Limits
Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim Penguins are seabirds exclusively found in the Southern Hemisphere, with their existence dating back to the late Cretaceous. Despite their exceptional dispersal capabilities, which allow them to inhabit a wide range of environments—from polar regions to temperate zones, and even near the Equator—penguins are absent in the Northern ...

Do shortfin mako Isurus oxyrinchus hunt dolphins actively?
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Direct evidence of shark predation on cetaceans is scarce, making it difficult to differentiate between stomach contents that have been scavenged and actively hunted. This study reports the presence of dolphin (Tursiops aduncus and Stenella clymene) remains in the stomachs of three large shortfin makos Isurus oxyrinchus.

Parasites in Stranded Cetaceans of Patagonia
Journal of Parasitology, 2008 There is an increasing interest in parasites of marine mammals of Argentina. Here, we examined several poorly known cetaceans, i.e., 2 spectacled porpoises and 1 Burmeister's porpoise (Phocoenidae), and 1 Gray's beaked whale and 1 Cuvier's beaked whale (Ziphidae); we also updated the parasite information for 1 sperm whale (Physeteridae).

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Photo identification (photo ID) has increasingly become a valuable technique serving not only to identify individual animals but also to monitor populations, track migration patterns and assess wildlife health, among others uses. Various species of sharks are amenable to photo ID, among which the blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The present contribution brings new osteohistological information on the postcranial bones of Kawanectes lafquenianum and shed some light on Plesiosauria microanatomy and microstructure. The bone architecture shows variability between forelimbs and hindlimbs.
