Several species (and over 3000 individuals) of small cetacean are held in captivity around the world, primarily for public display and entertainment. Scientific evidence strongly supports concerns about individual animals’ welfare, including mental and physical health. Conditions in captivity cannot meet an individual’s biological needs, and restricted

The auditory system of cetaceans, since they are capable of underwater hearing and adapted for echo location, has attracted major interest for many years. More precisely speaking, one of the two cetacean suborders, Odontoceti (toothed whales, dolphins, and porpoises) was a subject of a particular interest.

Characterization of cetacean Numt and its application into cetacean phylogeny
Genes & Genomics, 2015The translocations of mitochondrial DNA into chromosomal DNA (nuclear mitochondrial DNA, Numt) are ubiquitous in eukaryotes including yeasts, plants, and animals. The features of Numt and the recent sequencing technology can facilitate an expanded application of Numt into a valuable phylogenetic marker for unresolved taxa.

The ethmoid and presphenoid of cetaceans
Journal of Morphology, 2016ABSTRACTA cribriform plate, a perpendicular plate, and two lateral masses are major components of the ethmoid bone of mammals. Notwithstanding the noticeable bone, virtually sitting in the center of the skull, extensive modifications of the skull of modern cetaceans, especially odontocetes (toothed whales), and the lack of clarity as to what ...

This document focuses on the flow of data into the Biodiversity Cetaceans database and data portal. The data hosted at ICES were primarily collected by NGOs or during international surveys (such as the SCANS survey) and are integrated in the Joint Cetacean Data Programme (JCDP).
