Radiographic Assessment of Bone Maturation: A Tool to Estimate Sexual Maturity in Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis)?

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate inference of sexual maturity is fundamental to interpreting marine mammal life histories and population structure. Using Bayesian logistic regression models with a hierarchical ordinal (HOF‐style) parameterisation and canonical analysis of principal coordinates (CAP), we evaluate skeletal metrics in the pectoral flippers of common ...

Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and

The Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) in the Northern Limit of the FMA II: Strandings and Habitat Use in Ilha Grande Bay

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The presence of the franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) at the northern limit of the FMA II was investigated using a range of methods, including monitoring of strandings, boat surveys, and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). Franciscana strandings were recorded within the distributional gap between Macaé (22°55′ S) and Ilha Grande (23°09′ S ...

Advancing Marine Bioacoustics With Deep Generative Models: A Hybrid Augmentation Strategy for Southern Resident Killer Whale Detection

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Automated detection and classification of marine mammal vocalizations is critical for conservation and management efforts but is hindered by limited annotated datasets and the acoustic complexity of real‐world marine environments. Data augmentation has proven to be an effective strategy to address this limitation by increasing dataset ...

Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Site Fidelity, Residency, and Movement Patterns in Ireland Based on Citizen Science Data

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the residency and movement patterns of large cetaceans like the humpback whale is crucial for effective conservation. In Ireland, the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group has been collecting humpback whale data since the 1990s, primarily through citizen science.
