Cetacean rapid assessment: An approach to fill knowledge gaps and target conservation across large data deficient areas

open access: yes, 2018
1. Many species and populations of marine megafauna are undergoing substantial declines, while many are also very poorly understood. Even basic information on species presence is unknown for tens of thousands of kilometres of coastline, particularly in ...

How is the third jaw joint in whales different? Diverse modes of articulation between the jaws of whales

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study conducts the first comprehensive morphological investigation of the mandibular symphysis in whales. Using gross anatomical observation and CT cross‐sectional data, we describe diverse joint morphologies across 74 extant and fossil cetacean taxa. Toothed whales exhibit unfused, partially fused, or fully fused symphyses.

Measuring Personality in Wild Small Mammals: A Review of Methods and Proposal for a Standardised Approach

open access: yesMammal Review, EarlyView.
We provide a systematic review of methodologies used to study personality in small mammals. We propose adopting ‘Standardised Experimental Design’ and ‘Behavioural Measurements’ to effectively compare results across studies and foster progress in this field.

Cetacean diversity on the Parnaiba Delta, Maranhão state, northeastern Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
The increase in the research of cetacean surveys on the Brazilian coast has brought new data on the distribution of species never reported before. The present work reviews the current knowledge on cetaceans species and extends this knowledge with an ...

Admixture Increases Genetic Diversity and Adaptive Potential in Australasian Killer Whales

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Admixture is the exchange of genetic variation between differentiated demes, resulting in ancestry within a population coalescing in multiple ancestral source populations. Low‐latitude killer whales (Orcinus orca) populations typically have higher genetic diversity than those in more densely populated, high productivity and high‐latitude ...
