Stranding of a Hector's Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon hectori) (Gray 1871) From South Australia Unearths Novel Additional Teeth

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Most extant beaked whales have reduced dentition of one or two pairs of tusk‐like, mandibular teeth that erupt through the gum only in adult males. Additional teeth have been recorded in several species and genera. A juvenile Hector's beaked whale (SAMA M26434) having additional teeth was collected in South Australia and its skeleton and ...

Characterizing the Distribution and Behavior of Sperm Whales, Physeter macrocephalus, Over the Otago Submarine Canyons, New Zealand

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) play an important role in marine ecosystems as top predators, nutrient vectors, and indicators of ecosystem health. In Aotearoa New Zealand, sperm whales remain largely understudied other than at Kaikōura, a foraging area for males.

Seasonal and Interannual Variation of Common Dolphin, Delphinus delphis, Density in Portuguese Waters

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Modeling a species' ecology and abundance provides important insights into its habitat preferences, population trends, and distribution. Here, we studied how environmental factors relate to common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) density in waters off mainland Portugal.

Third Palatal Rugae as Stable Landmarks for Intraoral Models' Superimposition in Extraction Cases: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 326-335, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives To validate the third palatal rugae as stable reference landmarks for the superimposition of maxillary digital models in premolar extraction cases. Materials and Methods Maxillary intraoral scanning digital models of 22 extraction patients, obtained before (T0) and after approximately 4 months of incisor retraction (T1), were ...
