Cetacean diversity around the Mozambique Channel island of Mayotte (Comoros archipelago)
J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023 The Indian Ocean was designated as a whale sanctuary in 1979. While cetacean research has been conducted throughout the sanctuary, few studies have been conducted to assess the diversity, distribution and abundance of cetaceans inhabiting the waters ...

A note on cetacean distribution in the Indian EEZ and contiguous seas during 2003-07
J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023 Relatively little is known about the distribution of cetaceans in Indian seas due to lack of systematic surveys. For collecting data on species distribution, 35 opportunistic surveys were conducted onboard FORV Sagar Sampada between October 2003 and ...

Flukebook: an open-source AI platform for cetacean photo identification
Mammalian Biology, 2022 Determining which species are at greatest risk, where they are most vulnerable, and what are the trajectories of their communities and populations is critical for conservation and management. Globally distributed, wide-ranging whales and dolphins present

The tempo of cetacean cranial evolution.
Current Biology, 2022 The evolution of cetaceans (whales and dolphins) represents one of the most extreme adaptive transitions known, from terrestrial mammals to a highly specialized aquatic radiation that includes the largest animals alive today.

Intestinal Volvulus in Cetaceans [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 2012 Intestinal volvulus was recognized as the cause of death in 18 cetaceans, including 8 species of toothed whales (suborder Odontoceti). Cases originated from 11 institutions from around the world and included both captive ( n = 9) and free-ranging ( n = 9) animals. When the clinical history was available ( n = 9), animals consistently demonstrated acute

Climate change and cetacean health: impacts and future directions
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2022 Climate change directly impacts the foraging opportunities of cetaceans (e.g. lower prey availability), leads to habitat loss, and forces cetaceans to move to other feeding grounds. The rise in ocean temperature, low prey availability and loss of habitat

Machine Learning and Image Processing Methods for Cetacean Photo Identification: A Systematic Review
IEEE Access, 2022 Photo identification is an essential method to identify cetaceans, by using natural marks over their body, and allows experts to acquire straightforward information on these animals.
