Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...

Subsurface Behaviors of Hector's Dolphins Could Increase Their Risk of Bycatch

Conservation Letters
Hector's dolphins, endemic to New Zealand, suffer from bycatch in fishing gear. Fishing restrictions in inshore areas have reduced bycatch, although dolphins have been recorded outside these areas.

Severe Hearing Loss in the World's First Successfully Captive‐Born Yangtze Finless Porpoise: Impact of High Underwater Sound Exposure and Congenital Hearing Disorders

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The audiogram of the world's first successfully captive‐born Yangtze finless porpoise was on average 40 dB higher than conspecifics. Congenital hearing disorders and noise exposure may be the primary cause of porpoise's hearing loss. ABSTRACT Aquariums globally have seen significant growth in recent decades.

Modeling Skin Mark Temporal Variations to Estimate the Sex of Delphinids with Low Sexual Dimorphism: Implications for Management and Conservation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This work aimed to apply the principles of skin mark analysis to a cetacean species to build a sex‐discrimination model exclusively based on photographic material. Relevant differences between sexes emerged in markings, with males presenting more social, aggression‐related, and fishing‐related marks overall, and a stronger tendency of mark accumulation

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not
