The marine mammals of the Dutch Caribbean: a comparison between EEZ sectors, contrasts and concerns [PDF]

We here provide a synoptic overview and preliminary update of the marine mammals of the Dutch Caribbean EEZ based on 279 cetacean sighting and stranding records. The Dutch Caribbean EEZ is composed of two distinct sectors.

Linking by‐caught cetacean traits to fishing techniques: Insights from two species of small cetaceans

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract By‐catch is one of the main threats currently looming over small cetaceans worldwide. Improving knowledge of the interactions between fishing activities and small cetaceans is paramount to design cost‐effective mitigation measures. In particular, not all individuals within a population may be exposed to the same by‐catch risk: in dolphins ...

Effects of Recreational Boats on Harbour Porpoise Swimming Speed and Surfacing Interval Investigated by Two Synchronised UAVs

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study examines the impact of speed and proximity of recreational boats on the swimming speed and surfacing interval of one of the most common coastal cetacean species, the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), using data collected by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a key habitat for the vulnerable Belt Sea population.

A Dangerous Prey Fish? Brachyspira‐Rich Gastrointestinal Microbiota in Pompano Dolphinfish From Neritic and Deep Waters of the South China Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study reveals an unexpectedly simplified, Brachyspira‐dominated gastrointestinal microbiota in pompano dolphinfish from both neritic and deep‐sea habitats of the South China Sea. Environmental DNA and functional analyses suggest these fish may acquire potential pathogens in anthropogenically influenced coastal waters and transport them offshore ...

Post‐Release Survival and Behavioral Recovery of a Rehabilitated Short‐Finned Pilot Whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus) in the South China Sea Revealed Through Satellite Tracking

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study presents the first empirical evidence of successful rehabilitation and post‐release monitoring of a short‐finned pilot whale in the South China Sea—a region where such data are critically lacking despite frequent stranding events. Using satellite telemetry and a dedicated resighting expedition, we documented the 52‐day movement, diving ...

Beach Buffet: First Observations of White‐Backed Vultures Gyps africanus Feeding on a Cape Fur Seal Arctocephalus pusillus on the Skeleton Coast

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Vultures are specialized scavengers that provide critical ecosystem services by clearing carcasses, though their activity in African coastal environments has previously been limited to only two documented species (i.e., the Lappet‐faced and the Hooded Vultures).

A 26‐Year Record of Seasonality and Interannual Variability in Marine Mammal Sightings From Northern Marguerite Bay, Antarctica

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Whales and seals are an important and often conspicuous component of the Southern Ocean pelagic fauna but data from winter are very sparse. Six species remain in Marguerite Bay, Antarctica, year‐round while three are seasonal visitors. Humpback Whales are summer visitors and show a long‐term increase in sighting frequency together with an earlier ...
