Complete Mitogenome of Family Kogiidae (Kogia breviceps and Kogia sima) from Indian Waters

Genetics of Aquatic Organisms
The only two extant species of the genus Kogia, the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) and the dwarf sperm whale (Kogia sima), are a unique find in the world's oceans. This study presents the first complete mitochondrial genomes of K. breviceps and K. sima from Indian waters. The mitogenomes of K. breviceps and K.

Diet of pygmy sperm whales (Kogia breviceps) in the Hawaiian Archipelago

Marine Mammal Science, 2009
). Despite the high frequency of strandings,sightings of this species in Hawaiian waters are rare (Baird 2005). Given the lownumber of sightings, examination of stranded animals provides virtually the onlymeans to study the biology and ecology of pygmy sperm whales in the area.Pygmy sperm whales are recorded as feeding primarily on cephalopods from ...

Analysis of the Acoustic Signals from Three Pygmy Sperm Whales (Kogia breviceps)

, 2008
The pygmy sperm whale, Kogia breviceps, is a small odontocete whose biology and ecology are poorly understood. The Kogiids are taxonomically classified within the Superfamily Physeteroidea due to the presence of a spermaceti organ. This organ, along with
