Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Acoustic communication is important for animals with dependent young, particularly when they are spatially separated. Maternal humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) use acoustic calling to help minimize the risk of separation from their young calves ...

Diversity, 2022 The Atlantic humpback dolphin (Sousa teuszii) is a critically endangered cetacean species endemic to coastal Atlantic waters of Africa. Its preference for shallow coastal habitat renders it vulnerable to incidental capture (bycatch) in non-selective ...

A Genetic Perspective on Cetacean Evolution
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2021 Studies of cetacean evolution using genetics and other biomolecules have come a long way—from the use of allozymes and short sequences of mitochondrial or nuclear DNA to the assembly of full nuclear genomes and characterization of proteins and lipids ...

Rapid immune colloidal gold strip for cetacean meat restraining illegal trade and consumption: implications for conservation and public health. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The consumption of cetacean meat is geographically common and often of undetermined sustainability. Besides, it can expose humans to contaminants and zoonotic pathogens.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Intraspecific conflict can be costly; therefore, many species engage in ritualized contests composed of several stages. Each stage is typically characterized by different levels of aggression, arousal, and physical conflict. During these different levels

Methodology and Neuromarkers for Cetaceans’ Brains [PDF]
Veterinary Sciences, 2022 Cetacean brain sampling may be an arduous task due to the difficulty of collecting and histologically preparing such rare and large specimens. Thus, one of the main challenges of working with cetaceans’ brains is to establish a valid methodology for an optimal manipulation and fixation of the brain tissue, which allows the samples to be viable for ...

Acoustic Presence of Cetaceans in the Miaodao Archipelago, China
Animals, 2023 Once an important cetacean habitat, the Miaodao Archipelago has been altered by human-induced disturbances over several decades. While cetacean diversity is known to have decreased, no recent data on species diversity around Miaodao are known to exist ...
