Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigated the occurrence and whistle characteristics of small odontocetes in Wakasa Bay and Aso Bay, located in the coastal waters of the Sea of Japan, where ecological data are limited. Passive acoustic monitoring using A‐tag and SoundTrap was conducted from 2022 to 2024, with detections on 8.8% and 12.4% of monitoring days at ...

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.Cephalopods play crucial roles in marine ecosystems due to their diverse and indispensable contributions to trophic webs. However, parasitological research on cephalopods remains limited in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), despite the commercial significance of certain squid species and the zoonotic potential of the parasites within them. This study aimed to

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT We compiled 46 years of cetacean strandings in the Algarve, Portugal, describing temporal–spatial patterns, size–sex structure, and causes of death (COD). We analyzed national records and years with a dedicated regional stranding network (SN) to assess annual/seasonal trends, spatial hotspots, and compare biometrics and COD.
