Can Hematological Biomarkers Indicate Diagnoses and Prognosis in Stranded Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina)?

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildlife health assessments offer critical insights in applied ecological research, but their interpretation is often limited by missing complementary data. There is heightened need for such data for European harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina) given their recent population decline.

Exploring Marine Mammal Cognition as a Conservation Tool

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities.

Mating, Sociosexual, and Nursing Behavior of Wild East Asian Finless Porpoises in the Seto Inland Sea, Japan

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The mating and sociosexual (nonconceptive) behaviors of narrow‐ridged finless porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis) have been extensively studied in captivity. However, such behaviors may differ significantly from those that have developed in wild populations. Drone videos captured the behaviors of wild finless porpoises including a total of
