Patterns of enrichment and acceleration in evolutionary rates of promoters suggest a role of regulatory regions in cetacean gigantism

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Background Cetaceans (whales, porpoises, and dolphins) are a lineage of aquatic mammals from which some species became giants. Only recently, gigantism has been investigated from the molecular point of view.

Toward New Ecologically Relevant Markers of Health for Cetaceans

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Multiple stressors caused by human-induced disturbances can affect the foraging opportunities of cetaceans, potentially depleting their energy stores, and ultimately impact survival and reproductive success.

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.

Composition of cetacean communities worldwide shapes their contribution to ocean nutrient cycling

Nature Communications, 2023
Defecation by large whales is known to fertilise oceans with nutrients, stimulating phytoplankton and ecosystem productivity. However, our current understanding of these processes is limited to a few species, nutrients and ecosystems.
