Porodica Delphinidae u Jadranskom moru [PDF]

, 2019
Red Cetacea možemo podijeliti na dva podreda: kitove usane (Mysticeti) i kitove zubane (Odontoceti), koje razlikujemo po građi tijela, čeljusti, lubanje itd. U ovom radu izložen je kratki pregled kitova koji su viđeni u Jadranskom moru te su pobliže opisane vrste iz porodice Delphinidae.

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.

Genomic Insights Into the Evolutionary History of Berardius Beaked Whales: Speciation Driven by Resource Specialization, Gigantism and Thermal Barriers? [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Understanding the diversity of our oceans is fundamental now more than ever as climate change and human activities put increasing pressure on marine species and ecosystems. Beaked whales (family Ziphiidae) are among the most poorly understood marine mammals, in part due to their affinity to offshore underwater canyons and prolonged diving ...

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.

The genome sequence of the killer whale, Orcinus orca (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 3 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2022
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Orcinus orca (the killer whale; Chordata; Mammalia; Artiodactyla; Delphinidae). The genome sequence is 2.65 gigabases in span.

Bony labyrinths of the blackfish (Delphinidae: Globicephalinae) [PDF]

Marine Mammal Science, 2021
AbstractBony labyrinth morphology varies across marine mammals and contains key information regarding hearing sensitivity and ecology. The hearing ranges of globicephaline (Delphinidae: Globicephalinae) or melon‐headed dolphins, known as “Blackfish,” have been extensively studied using acoustic technologies, but clade‐wide morphological analysis of the

Molecular characterization of poxviruses associated with tattoo skin lesions in UK cetaceans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
There is increasing concern for the well-being of cetacean populations around the UK. Tattoo skin disease (characterised by irregular, grey, black or yellowish, stippled cutaneous lesions) caused by poxvirus infection is a potential health indicatora ...

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
