Gas exchange and pulmonary stress variations during SCUBA and breath‐hold diving in open seawater

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Healthy, trained divers were studied before, during and after diving in open seawater with different techniques. SCUBA divers (diving to 15 or 40 m with air; cycling at depth) and breath‐hold divers (BHDs; sled‐assisted dives to 15, 25 or 40 m) underwent underwater and surface arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling.

The Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) in the Northern Limit of the FMA II: Strandings and Habitat Use in Ilha Grande Bay

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The presence of the franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) at the northern limit of the FMA II was investigated using a range of methods, including monitoring of strandings, boat surveys, and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). Franciscana strandings were recorded within the distributional gap between Macaé (22°55′ S) and Ilha Grande (23°09′ S ...

Stranded cetaceans

Animal Welfare, 1994
The RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) has produced a second edition of its stranded whales booklet. The first version was published out of the RSPCA's 1983 Stranded Whale Workshop and this 1994 edition incorporates additional information from a follow-up seminar run by the Society in November 1992.

Advancing Marine Bioacoustics With Deep Generative Models: A Hybrid Augmentation Strategy for Southern Resident Killer Whale Detection

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Automated detection and classification of marine mammal vocalizations is critical for conservation and management efforts but is hindered by limited annotated datasets and the acoustic complexity of real‐world marine environments. Data augmentation has proven to be an effective strategy to address this limitation by increasing dataset ...

Fusión de suturas craneales en el delfín franciscana, Pontoporia blainvillei (Gervais and D'Orbigny, 1844) [PDF]

, 2015
Se estudió la fusión de suturas craneales y su asimetría bilateral en el delfín franciscana, Pontoporia blainvillei. Nuestros resultados mostraron que el cierre de suturas presenta baja variabilidad asociada a la longitud corporal total, exceptuando la ...

Spatio‐Temporal Patterns in Relative Abundance and Distribution of Southern Right Whales in Southwestern Australia, 2021–2024

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) are listed as Endangered in Australia due to past commercial exploitation. Currently, they are experiencing contemporary declines in population growth rates. Knowledge of critical periods and habitats in whale occupancy and reproduction is crucial for conservation efforts.

Killer Whales in the Central Tropical Pacific: Occurrence, Resightings, Morphology, and Acoustics

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Compared to their well‐studied coastal temperate counterparts, killer whales (Orcinus orca) in tropical‐subtropical and oceanic areas are under‐documented. We used sighting, photo‐identification, and acoustic data of killer whales in the central tropical Pacific (CTP), collected from multiple platforms between 2002 and 2023, to assess their ...

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

Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 6, Page 1514-1529, June 2026.
Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...
