Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.Environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques have been successfully used to detect cetacean species, including harbor porpoises, humpback whales, and killer whales, through direct “flukeprint” sampling. This study assessed the persistence of eDNA shed in flukeprints by collecting seawater samples at timed intervals (up to 10 min) following dives of these ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 2, April 2025.Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) is currently the second‐most stranded cetacean in the southeastern United States (SEUS), but information concerning their population structure is severely limited. This study used stable isotope analysis to investigate the isotopic niches and population structure of K.

Validated Environmental DNA Assay for Detection of the Rare Rice's Whale (Balaenoptera ricei)
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.The first eDNA assay was developed to detect the presence of the Rice's whale from environmental samples. This validated qPCR assay is highly sensitive and species‐specific and can be utilized in future studies to better understand the temporal and spatial distribution of this rare and endangered species.

Female, juvenile, and calf sperm whale Physeter macrocephalus (Linnaeus 1758) records from Ireland
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.Ireland has historically been viewed as a region where only male sperm whales were present. There have however been historical records of female and calf sperm whales from 1910 and 1916. More recently, there has been a trend of female strandings in Ireland since 1995 where 7 of the 10 events have taken place since 2013 indicating a shift in the sperm ...

Evidence of marine predation on silver New Zealand longfin eels, Anguilla dieffenbachii
Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 4, August 2024.Abstract The use of Pop‐up Satellite Archival Tags (PSATs) has provided considerable new information about the behaviour of migrating (silver) eels (Anguilla spp.) at sea, with 9 of 19 recognised species or subspecies tagged to date. However, such studies often reported premature tag detachment and relatively high rates of predation.

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 4, July–August 2024.Prey are an important driver of fine‐scale habitat use by marine mammals, but their distributions are often poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that eDNA metabarcoding can reveal fine‐scale spatiotemporal differences in cetacean distributions and their key prey species, including spatial partitioning between sympatric cetacean species with ...

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 5, July 2024.Abstract The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a highly polymorphic gene family that is crucial in immunity, and its diversity can be effectively used as a fitness marker for populations. Despite this, MHC remains poorly characterised in non‐model species (e.g., cetaceans: whales, dolphins and porpoises) as high gene copy number variation ...

, 2017 Dwarf sperm whales, Kogia sima, are among the most commonly stranded yet least known pelagic cetaceans. I assessed seasonal and spatial variation in dwarf sperm whale group size and abundance off Great Abaco Island, the Bahamas.

Notes on the confirmation of the Dwarf sperm whale Kogia sima Owen, 1866 (Cetacea: Kogiidae) on Venezuelan coasts [PDF]
, 2008 The dwarf sperm whale, Kogia sima check for this species in other resources (Owen 1866), (Cetacea: Kogiidae) is distributed in tropical pelagic and temperate waters around the world, nevertheless, it is extremely hard to observe on field due to its ...
