Using Case Studies to Investigate Cetacean Bycatch/Interaction Under-Reporting in Countries With Reporting Legislation

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Accurate reporting of cetacean bycatch in/interaction with fishing gear in fisher logbooks would be of immense scientific value; however, despite some countries having mandatory reporting laws, logbook reporting is widely considered unreliable and ...

Intestinal Volvulus in Cetaceans [PDF]

open access: yesVeterinary 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

Distribution of Cetaceans in the Canary Islands (Northeast Atlantic Ocean): Implications for the Natura 2000 Network and Future Conservation Measures

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The waters of the Canary Islands are considered a hotspot for marine biodiversity, especially regarding cetacean species. Based on this fact, this study pays attention to the spatial distribution pattern of cetacean species and the conservation role of ...

Song complexity is maintained during inter-population cultural transmission of humpback whale songs

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

Causes of cetacean stranding and death on the Catalonian coast (western Mediterranean Sea), 2012-2019.

open access: yesDiseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2020
The causes of cetacean stranding and death along the Catalan coast between 2012 and 2019 were systematically investigated. Necropsies and detailed pathological investigations were performed on 89 well-preserved stranded cetaceans, including 72 striped ...

Following the Food: Dynamic, Seasonal Changes in the Fine-Scale Distribution of Foraging Minke Whales Within a Scottish Marine Protected Area (MPA)

open access: yesOceans
Environmental heterogeneity is especially important in determining the distribution and spatial management of marine mammals. Intra-annual changes in distribution exhibited by highly mobile species such as baleen whales, however, present a challenge to ...

High site fidelity and restricted ranging patterns in southern Australian bottlenose dolphins

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Information on site fidelity and ranging patterns of wild animals is critical to understand how they use their environment and guide conservation and management strategies. Delphinids show a wide variety of site fidelity and ranging patterns.

Synthesis and Modification of Cetacean Tonal Sounds for Underwater Bionic Covert Detection and Communication

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
For most conventional bionic signal design methods, they cannot construct high-similarity bionic signals to match those complex cetacean sounds because they are only based on relatively simple bionic signal models.

Assessment of cetacean–fishery interactions in the marine food web of the Gulf of Taranto (Northern Ionian Sea, Central Mediterranean Sea)

open access: yesReviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2020
The exploitation of fishery resources acts as a driving force on cetaceans both directly, by determining their fishing mortality or injury as by-catch species, and indirectly, through the lowering the availability of their prey.

Thermal Imaging and Biometrical Thermography of Humpback Whales

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...
