Mitogenomic phylogenetic analyses of the Delphinidae with an emphasis on the Globicephalinae [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Previous DNA-based phylogenetic studies of the Delphinidae family suggest it has undergone rapid diversification, as characterised by unresolved and poorly supported taxonomic relationships (polytomies) for some of the species within this ...

Low Heterozygosity and Historical Bottleneck Effect Depicted From the Genome Assembly of the Indus River Dolphin (Platanista minor) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The Indus River dolphin (Platanista minor) is a highly endangered freshwater dolphin endemic to the Indus River system of the Indian subcontinent. We reported a de novo assembly and characterization of the draft genome of the Indus River dolphin by using

Navigating Cetacean Mitochondrial Genome Data: Identifying Coverage and Deficiencies in Public Repositories. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Genetic reference databases underpin a wide range of molecular approaches used to study cetacean biodiversity, including environmental DNA (eDNA), yet their reliability depends critically on data completeness, taxonomic accuracy, and metadata quality.

Assessing social behaviour between baleen whales (Mysticeti) and dolphins (Delphinidae)

Discover Animals
The dynamics and factors influencing interspecies interactions in the wild are not well understood, particularly among social marine animal species such as Mysticetes and Delphinadae.

Drivers of Viral Diversity and Sharing in Marine Mammals. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Knowledge of viral infection in marine mammals, a group severely threatened by human activity, is largely limited to the pathology and epidemiology of few endemic viruses. The recent emergence in marine mammals of high‐consequence viruses, such as H5N1 avian influenza and rabies, underscores the importance of understanding the ecology of viral

How large should whales be? [PDF]

, 2013
The evolution and distribution of species body sizes for terrestrial mammals is well-explained by a macroevolutionary tradeoff between short-term selective advantages and long-term extinction risks from increased species body size, unfolding above the 2g

First record of Risso's dolphin Grampus griseus (Cuvier, 1812) in Icelandic waters

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
In July 2022, two Risso's dolphins were reported stranded in Hrútafjörður (N65° 09,503; W21° 05,529), a fjord in northern Iceland. These events represent the first confirmed observations and strandings of Risso's dolphins in Icelandic waters.
