Using Aerial Photogrammetry to Estimate Body Condition and Assess Sexual Dimorphism in Narwhals

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Arctic is warming rapidly, impacting ice‐dependent species and communities that rely on them for resources. Body condition indices (BCI) are widely used to assess individual health within populations. We adapted the methodology to improve accessibility for estimating narwhal body condition from drone footage, using body length, body width,

Deep breath out: molecular survey of selected pathogens in blow and skin biopsies from North Atlantic cetaceans

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Cetacean morbillivirus, herpesvirus, avian influenza virus (AIV) and Brucella spp. have been linked to numerous cetacean strandings in the Northeast (NE) Atlantic.

A whale apart: further evidence for genetic isolation of Arabian Sea humpback whales from other recognised subspecies

Frontiers in Marine Science
Genetic studies have differentiated three subspecies of humpback whales: Megaptera novaeangliae novaeangliae in the North Atlantic, M. n. australis in the Southern Hemisphere and M. n. kuzira in the North Pacific.

Defining humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) potential distribution in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park: a two-way approach

Context Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) populations have been recovering from whaling but are now facing threats from changing food availability due to ocean warming and changes in habitat suitability.

Characterizing Habitat Suitability of Long‐Finned Pilot Whales in a Key Conservation Region of the Southern Iberian Peninsula Using Satellite Tracking Data

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The waters surrounding the southern Iberian Peninsula are a key conservation area for the long‐finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas melas), particularly in the pelagic regions of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Alboran Sea, and the Gulf of Vera, where upwelling, complex bathymetry and frontal dynamics enhance productivity and prey availability,

Visualization of humpback whale tracking on edge device using space-borne remote sensing data for Indian Ocean

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences
The conservation of humpback whale populations faces ongoing challenges, including human-induced mortality, despite the ban on commercial whaling. Recent advancements in high-resolution satellite imagery offer promise for estimating whale populations ...

A Global Compilation of Blue Whale Strandings

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine mammal strandings are common occurrences that attract public and scientific interest. Stranding data can provide important information for rarely sighted species, but while regional and national stranding databases do exist in some areas, cross‐database communication and data sharing are limited.
