Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Site Fidelity, Residency, and Movement Patterns in Ireland Based on Citizen Science Data

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.

Balancing Aerobic and Anaerobic Metabolism, and Its Effect on Recovery Time in Freely‐Diving Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus)

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 ...

Killer Whales in the Central Tropical Pacific: Occurrence, Resightings, Morphology, and Acoustics

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Compared to their well‐studied coastal temperate counterparts, killer whales (Orcinus orca) in tropical‐subtropical and oceanic areas are under‐documented. We used sighting, photo‐identification, and acoustic data of killer whales in the central tropical Pacific (CTP), collected from multiple platforms between 2002 and 2023, to assess their ...

Occurrence and Whistle Characteristics of Small Odontocetes in Two Coastal Regions of the Sea of Japan

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the occurrence and whistle characteristics of small odontocetes in Wakasa Bay and Aso Bay, located in the coastal waters of the Sea of Japan, where ecological data are limited. Passive acoustic monitoring using A‐tag and SoundTrap was conducted from 2022 to 2024, with detections on 8.8% and 12.4% of monitoring days at ...

Foraging Ecology and Fisheries Interactions of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Inferred From Strandings in Western Iberian Atlantic Waters

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to

Exploring Progesterone Levels and Scaled Mass Index as Predictors of Pregnancy in Free‐Ranging Belugas

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Monitoring pregnancy rates can provide vital information regarding a population's viability and trajectory. This study combined drone‐based photogrammetry with biopsy darting to determine if the Scaled Mass Index (SMI) estimated from aerial images can be used to identify pregnant, free‐ranging St.
