Three‐Dimensional Vascular Structure of Caudal and Dorsal Fins of a Dwarf Sperm Whale [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
This study examined the vascular architecture in the caudal and dorsal fins of a dwarf sperm whale through X‐ray computed tomography and gross dissection. The analysis provided the first confirmation of two distinct vascular systems in the fins of the family Kogiidae, indicating their presence across Odontoceti species.

Relationship of stranded cetaceans in Thai territorial waters to global populations: Mitochondrial DNA diversity of Cuvier's beaked whale, Indo Pacific finless porpoise, pygmy sperm whale, and dwarf sperm whale. [PDF]

Sci Prog, 2022
Cetaceans inhabit oceans throughout the world. Four specific odontocetes, namely Cuvier's beaked whale ( Ziphius cavirostris), Indo Pacific finless porpoise ( Neophocaena phocaenoides), pygmy sperm whale ( Kogia breviceps), and dwarf sperm whale ( Kogia sima), have occasionally been found stranded along Thailand's coastal waters (the Andaman Sea and ...

Detection of the elusive Dwarf sperm whale (Kogia sima) using environmental DNA at Malpelo island (Eastern Pacific, Colombia). [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
Abstract Monitoring large marine mammals is challenging due to their low abundances in general, an ability to move over large distances and wide geographical range sizes. The distribution of the pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales is informed by relatively rare sightings, which does not permit accurate estimates of their ...
