Gut microbiota of captive common bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus gilli: influence of age, sex, birthplace, and contacts with dolphinarium visitors

Frontiers in Marine Science
Dolphins are aquatic mammals, whose role in microbial ecology is not fully understood. It is critical to study the microbiota of dolphins kept in captivity, as close contact with humans could unpredictably affect both human and animal health.

Comparative histopathologic and viral immunohistochemical studies on CeMV infection among Western Mediterranean, Northeast-Central, and Southwestern Atlantic cetaceans.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) is a major natural cause of morbidity and mortality in cetaceans worldwide and results in epidemic and endemic fatalities. The pathogenesis of CeMV has not been fully elucidated, and questions remain regarding tissue tropism

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Reduction of Species Identification Errors in Surveys of Marine Wildlife Abundance Utilising Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

Remote Sensing, 2022
The advent of unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs) has enhanced our capacity to survey wildlife abundance, yet new protocols are still required for collecting, processing, and analysing image-type observations.

Reduced Adult Neurogenesis in Humans Results From a Tradeoff Rather Than Direct Negative Selection

BioEssays, EarlyView.
Embryonic radial glia (RG) generate neurons, glial cells, and later adult neural stem cells, which sustain adult neurogenesis (top, left to right). Human‐specific genetic modifications (blue arrow), selected to boost early RG neurogenic activity, may lead to premature RG exhaustion and reduced adult neurogenesis in the human brain (bottom).

Cetaceans and sea turtles in the northern region of the Mediterranean Cetacean Migration Corridor: abundance and multi-model habitat suitability analysis

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Mediterranean Cetacean Migration Corridor is one of the largest marine protected areas in the Mediterranean Sea. Nevertheless, little is known about the abundance and distribution of cetaceans and sea turtles in the area.
