Marine Mammals in the Anthropocene: Developing a Systematic Evidence Base of Threats to Nineteen Species

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.

Vocalization Characteristics of the Indo‐Pacific Humpback Dolphins (Sousa chinensis) in Xiamen Bay With Insights on Regional Differences

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphin population in Xiamen Bay was divided into two geographically separated but socially associated communities inhabiting the West and East sub‐regions. Based on 3 years of boat‐based surveys, this study established baseline acoustic characteristics and investigated whether vocal patterns varied with habitat conditions ...

Seven new dolphin mitochondrial genomes and a time-calibrated phylogeny of whales

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background The phylogeny of Cetacea (whales) is not fully resolved with substantial support. The ambiguous and conflicting results of multiple phylogenetic studies may be the result of the use of too little data, phylogenetic methods that do not ...

Emergence, spread, and impact of high‐pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,

Do Marine Mammals Diversify More Slowly Than Non‐Marine Mammals?

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Species richness is generally lower in marine than in terrestrial ecosystems, but the reasons behind this disparity remain unclear. This study examines whether marine mammals diversify at a slower pace than their non‐marine counterparts, aiming to shed light on the factors explaining potential diversification differences among them ...
