Tattoo Skin Disease in Cetacea: A Review, with New Cases for the Northeast Pacific
Animals, 2022 Tattoo skin disease (TSD) is a poxviral dermatopathy diagnosed in cetaceans. We review the literature on TSD aetiology, clinical characteristics, pathology and epidemiology and evaluate immune responses against the virus.

BMC Ecology, 2006 Background Harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena from the southern North Sea are known to display high levels of Zn and Hg in their tissues linked to their nutritional status (emaciation). The question arises regarding a potential role of metallothioneins (

Spatial orientation in echolocating harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2005 SUMMARY Studies concerning the echolocation behaviour of odontocetes focus mainly on target detection and discrimination, either in stationary animals or in animals approaching a specific target. We present the first data on the use of echolocation for spatial orientation or navigation.

Counting cases, conserving species: addressing highly pathogenic avian influenza in wildlife
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has become a critical threat to wildlife, shifting from a seasonal epizootic to a persistent, year‐round panzootic with global consequences. Here, we summarise the origin, evolutionary mechanisms, and expanding host range of the current H5N1 virus (clade 2.3.4.4b) and assess its impact on wildlife. Over

Sightings of Cetaceans in the waters of Yuzhny Sea Port (Hryhorivsky Estuary, Black Sea) in 2015–2016 [PDF]
Праці Теріологічної школи, 2016 The use of transformed coastal ecosystems by the Black Sea cetaceans is an important, but little studied issue. In 2015–2016, coastal visual observations of cetaceans were conducted in the waters of Yuzhny Sea Port.

Half a Century of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Northern Gannet Eggs: Impact of Regulations
Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “forever chemicals”, are persistent organic pollutants that have been widely used in the industry across the globe for many decades. Their chemical stability, bioaccumulation, and toxicity pose major environmental and health risks. This study examines temporal trends in the concentrations of

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...
