Multi-locus phylogeny of dolphins in the subfamily Lissodelphininae: character synergy improves phylogenetic resolution [PDF]
, 2006 Background Dolphins of the genus Lagenorhynchus are anti-tropically distributed in temperate to cool waters. Phylogenetic analyses of cytochrome b sequences have suggested that the genus is polyphyletic; however, many relationships were poorly resolved ...

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2019 AbstractThe ontogeny of the structures involved in sound generation and modulation in dolphins was investigated through a comparison of the soft nasal structures of foetal, perinatal, neonatal and adult specimens of Pontoporiidae, Phocoenidae and Delphinidae.

Ecological Factors Driving Cranial Morphology in Delphinidae
, 2021 Delphinidae have a highly modified skull, resulting from their secondary adaptation to a fully aquatic lifestyle. This is characterized by skull telescoping and the posterior migration of the nasal bones, resulting in a vertical arrangement of the nasal passages, facilitating breathing at the water surface. Across the family, skull shape is notoriously

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Osteological alterations in the tucuxi Sotalia fluviatilis (cetacea, delphinidae) [PDF]
Iheringia. Série Zoologia, 2013 We present a description of osteological alterations observed in the tucuxi, Sotalia fluviatilis (Gervais, 1853) from a sample of 43 specimens. Fractures were the most frequent alterations in the sample (16%), occurring in various regions of the skeleton such as the ribs, hyoid apparatus, transverse and neural processes of vertebrae and scapula.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The pygmy right whale (Caperea marginata) is one of the least studied mysticete species. To shed light on its geographic and seasonal distribution, we compiled archival acoustic recordings from 26 sites across southern Australia and developed a deep‐learning detector for pygmy right whale “doublet” vocalizations.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT We compiled 46 years of cetacean strandings in the Algarve, Portugal, describing temporal–spatial patterns, size–sex structure, and causes of death (COD). We analyzed national records and years with a dedicated regional stranding network (SN) to assess annual/seasonal trends, spatial hotspots, and compare biometrics and COD.
