Cetacean bycatch in Indian Ocean tuna gillnet fisheries
Endangered Species Research, 2020 Pelagic gillnet (driftnet) fisheries account for some 34% of Indian Ocean tuna catches. We combined published results from 10 bycatch sampling programmes (1981-2016) in Australia, Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan to estimate bycatch rates for cetaceans ...

Evolutionary evidence for multi-host transmission of cetacean morbillivirus
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2018 Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) has emerged as the pathogen that poses the greatest risk of triggering epizootics in cetacean populations worldwide, and has a high propensity for interspecies transmission, including sporadic infection of seals.

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.
