Identification of Novel Cetacean Poxviruses in Cetaceans Stranded in South West England. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Poxvirus infections in marine mammals have been mainly reported through their clinical lesions and electron microscopy (EM). Poxvirus particles in association with such lesions have been demonstrated by EM and were previously classified as two new ...

Cetaceans and cetacean research in India
J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023 The diversity of cetacean species in Indian waters is high, with 25 species recorded so far. Records of cetaceans from India during the last 200 years have provided insights into their spatiotemporal distribution, behaviour, feeding, reproduction, fishery interaction and pollution.

Thermal Imaging and Biometrical Thermography of Humpback Whales
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Determining species' distributions through time and space remains a primary challenge in cetacean science and conservation. For example, many whales migrate thousands of kilometers every year between remote seasonal habitats along migratory corridors ...

Song complexity is maintained during inter-population cultural transmission of humpback whale songs
Scientific Reports, 2022 Among animal species, the songs of male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a rare example of social learning between entire populations. Understanding fine-scale similarity in song patterns and structural features will better clarify how ...

The effect of a multi-target protocol on cetacean detection and abundance estimation in aerial surveys [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 A double-platform protocol was implemented in the Bay of Biscay and English Channel during the SCANS-III survey (2016). Two observation platforms using different protocols were operating on board a single aircraft: the reference platform (Scans ...
