Occurrence and Whistle Characteristics of Small Odontocetes in Two Coastal Regions of the Sea of Japan

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the occurrence and whistle characteristics of small odontocetes in Wakasa Bay and Aso Bay, located in the coastal waters of the Sea of Japan, where ecological data are limited. Passive acoustic monitoring using A‐tag and SoundTrap was conducted from 2022 to 2024, with detections on 8.8% and 12.4% of monitoring days at ...

Foraging Ecology and Fisheries Interactions of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Inferred From Strandings in Western Iberian Atlantic Waters

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to

The Inside Waters of Vancouver Island Are Critical Foraging Habitat for West Coast Transient Killer Whales

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT West Coast Transient (WCT) killer whales (Orcinus orca rectipinnus) hunt marine mammals along the west coast of North America from California to southeastern Alaska. However, little information is available on their seasonal use of nearshore areas and the relative importance of different parts of their range.

Exploring Progesterone Levels and Scaled Mass Index as Predictors of Pregnancy in Free‐Ranging Belugas

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Monitoring pregnancy rates can provide vital information regarding a population's viability and trajectory. This study combined drone‐based photogrammetry with biopsy darting to determine if the Scaled Mass Index (SMI) estimated from aerial images can be used to identify pregnant, free‐ranging St.

Machine Learning Detection of Scarring Events in Killer Whales

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Detection and analysis of body scars using photo‐identification data of cetaceans can provide insights into life history, behavior, and exposure to threats, but such analyses typically require manual examination of large image datasets. To explore whether machine learning can assist this process, we developed a pipeline for automatically ...
