First Record of a Presumed Risso's Dolphin Calf Associated With a Bottlenose Dolphin in the Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
During a survey in June 2025, researchers recorded a presumed Risso's dolphin calf swimming in echelon position within a bottlenose dolphin group off the Catalan coast (north‐eastern Iberian Peninsula). Two possible interpretations are discussed: (1) it may represent the first hybrid calf reported in the Mediterranean, or (2) it may be the first ...

Geographical and Seasonal Distribution of Australian Pygmy Right Whales (Caperea marginata) Based on Passive Acoustics

open access: yesMarine 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.

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

open access: yesBMC 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 ...

Unveiling Patterns in Cetacean Strandings Along Southern Atlantic Iberia: Temporal and Spatial Trends, Seasonality, and Causes of Death

open access: yesMarine 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.

Structure and optics of the anterior segment of the cetacean eye : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The anterior segment of the mammalian eye is concerned with the function and maintenance of its optical components, the most important of these being the maintenance of transparency and stable intraocular pressure.

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

open access: yesMammal 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.

Studies, on the Delphinidae of Japan (IIII)

open access: yesNIPPON SUISAN GAKKAISHI, 1951
Two allied species of Phocaenoides are found in the Japan waters. Phocaenoides truei (called “Rikuzeniruka” in Japan) is distributed in the northern region of the pacific coast of Japan and migrate twice in a year. Its spring migration begins in February from south to north, from off Choshi, China prefecture to Kurile Islands.
