A first record of digenean parasites of the dwarf sperm whale Kogia sima with morphological and molecular information

Advances in Marine Biology, 2023
Two species of digenean trematodes of the family Brachycladiidae were obtained from two male dwarf sperm whales Kogia sima that stranded along the island of Kyushu, southern Japan in 2017. From the liver of the first animal, a single, large gravid specimen of a digenean species was collected. The morphological features were consistent with those of the

Notes on stomach contents of pygmy and dwarf sperm whales (Kogia spp.) from around Japan

Advances in Marine Biology, 2023
The diets of pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (K. sima) sperm whales in Japanese waters are poorly known. We report new information on the diets of these two species from these waters based on identifiable hard-part remains recovered from the stomach contents of 29 whales (11 pygmy and 18 dwarf sperm whales) that stranded between 1991 and 2021; those ...

Cardiomyopathy in stranded pygmy and dwarf sperm whales

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1985
SUMMARY Necropsy and histologic examinations were performed in 23 pygmy sperm whales (Kogia breviceps) and 6 dwarf sperm whales (Kogia simus) that had been stranded singly or in cow-calf pairs along the southeastern coastline of the United States.

Long-term monitoring of Physeteroidea (sperm whales, dwarf, and pygmy sperm whales) in the Central and Western Pacific

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016
The superfamily Physeteroidea includes three extant species: the sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus), the dwarf sperm whale (Kogia sima), and the pygmy sperm whale (K. breviceps). Despite extreme difference in size between the Kogia spp. and their large Physeter relative, all three share ecological and acoustic traits relating to their deep-diving ...

THE MICROSCOPIC AND IMMUNOHISTOLOGIC ANATOMY OF THE ENDOCRINE PANCREAS OF PYGMY AND DWARF SPERM WHALES (KOGIIDAE)

Marine Mammal Science, 1988
AbstractHistologic studies of pancreatic tissues of one pygmy sperm whale, Kiogia breviceps, and one dwarf sperm whale, K. simus, demonstrated rather typical exocrine pancreatic anatomy. Peroxidase‐antiperoxidase (PAP) techniques determined that the cell composition of the islets of Langerhans resembled that of other mammals.

Strandings and at sea observations reveal the canary archipelago as an important habitat for pygmy and dwarf sperm whale

Advances in Marine Biology
Cetaceans are a critical component of marine ecosystems, acting as top predators in mesopelagic trophic webs. In the Macaronesian biogeographical region, cetacean populations face threats from various anthropogenic activities. Evaluating cryptic oceanic species like kogiids whales is challenging due to insufficient biological and ecological data ...
