Great Meteor Seamount Circulation Revisited: Insights Into Cold‐Water Coral Habitat Potential

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seamounts play a crucial role in shaping deep‐sea ecosystem structure, influencing ocean circulation, enhancing biological productivity, and supporting diverse marine life. The Great Meteor Seamount (GMS), is the largest seamount in the North Atlantic and a key ecological feature in the regional network of the Protected Areas of the Azores ...

PATTERNS OF PREY BIOMASS CONSUMPTION BY SMALL ODONTOCETES IN THE NORTHEASTERN COAST OF VENEZUELA

Revista Ciencias Marinas y Costeras, 2011
Trophic relationships are conditioned by population dynamics of interacting species in the community (species present, food web connections among them, and the strength of interactions), and on the consequences of these species interactions depend ...

Variation in foraging ecology of common dolphins in the Celtic Seas ecoregion

Frontiers in Marine Science
Predators forage by balancing the energy content of prey with the energy required to capture it, selecting prey based on their foraging strategy. In the Celtic Seas ecoregion, recent dietary data are lacking for the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis ...

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

Ecology 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 ...

Navigating Cetacean Mitochondrial Genome Data: Identifying Coverage and Deficiencies in Public Repositories

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
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.

A short review of the distribution of short-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in the central and eastern North Atlantic with an abundance estimate for part of this area

NAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2009
This paper uses data from 3 programmes: (1) the North Atlantic Sightings Surveys (NASS) surveys undertaken throughout much of the central and eastern North Atlantic north of about 40° N in 1987, 1989, 1995 and 2001; (2) the MICA-93 programme; and (3) the

Challenges of Monitoring Endangered Bryde's Whales During a Period of Rapid Environmental Change

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 183-193, April 2026.
Estimating population size is challenging for rare and elusive species that occur at low densities and are difficult to detect during sampling. We estimated the abundance of a Nationally critical whale species—Aotearoa New Zealand Bryde's whales—using a custom‐formulated POPAN model which incorporated transience to account for their complex residency ...

Evolution and Diversification of Delphinid Skull Shapes

iScience, 2020
Summary: The diversity of the dolphin family was established during a short window of time. We investigated delphinid skull shape evolution, mapping shapes on an up-to-date nuclear phylogeny.

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

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.
