AnimalsIn recent decades, worldwide cetacean species have been protected, but they are still threatened. The bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a vulnerable keystone species and a useful bioindicator of the health and balance of marine ecosystems in ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT The presence of the franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) at the northern limit of the FMA II was investigated using a range of methods, including monitoring of strandings, boat surveys, and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). Franciscana strandings were recorded within the distributional gap between Macaé (22°55′ S) and Ilha Grande (23°09′ S ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Automated detection and classification of marine mammal vocalizations is critical for conservation and management efforts but is hindered by limited annotated datasets and the acoustic complexity of real‐world marine environments. Data augmentation has proven to be an effective strategy to address this limitation by increasing dataset ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) are listed as Endangered in Australia due to past commercial exploitation. Currently, they are experiencing contemporary declines in population growth rates. Knowledge of critical periods and habitats in whale occupancy and reproduction is crucial for conservation efforts.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding the residency and movement patterns of large cetaceans like the humpback whale is crucial for effective conservation. In Ireland, the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group has been collecting humpback whale data since the 1990s, primarily through citizen science.

Total Numbers and Movements of Photo‐Identified Subantarctic (Type D) Killer Whales
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT The distinctive Subantarctic (Type D) killer whale (DKW) (Orcinus orca) is a highly divergent and apparently inbred form previously known only from three mass strandings and several dozen at‐sea sightings, primarily from Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) longline vessels in the southern Indian Ocean and from tourism vessels in ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT As breath‐hold divers, marine mammals must coordinate their use of both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism to maximize their time at depth. One indication of the relative reliance between these two energy‐producing systems is the aerobic dive limit (ADL), defined as the dive duration where post‐dive blood lactate concentrations surpass resting ...
