Osmoregulation in Marine Mammals [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2001
SUMMARY Osmoregulation in marine mammals has been investigated for over a century; however, a review of recent advances in our understanding of water and electrolyte balance and of renal function in marine mammals is warranted. The following topics are discussed: (i) kidney structure and urine concentrating ability, (ii) sources of water,

The First Attempt of Satellite Tracking on Occurrence and Migration of Bryde’s Whale (Balaenoptera edeni) in the Beibu Gulf

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Satellite-tagging is increasingly becoming a powerful biotelemetry approach to obtain remote measurement through tracking free-living cetaceans, which can fill knowledge gaps on cetaceans and facilitate conservation management.

Monitoring of Marine Mammal Strandings Along French Coasts Reveals the Importance of Ship Strikes on Large Cetaceans: A Challenge for the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
The marine traffic has evolved to ever more big and fast ships increasing substantially the pressure on marine fauna. Ship strike is nowadays identified as a major threat on large cetaceans inducing significant additional mortalities. However, estimation

Identifying predictors of species diversity to guide designation of marine protected areas

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are a widely‐used tool for conserving biodiversity. Features that support marine mammal foraging have been suggested as important components to include in MPAs, but research is needed to understand the relationship between ...

Patterns of Research Effort and Extinction Risk of Marine Mammals in the Philippines

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Global marine mammal research is disproportionately lacking compared to terrestrial mammal research and is strongly biased toward populations in Europe, North America, New Zealand, and Australia.

The first chromosome‐level genome for a marine mammal as a resource to study ecology and evolution

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2019
Marine mammals are important models for studying convergent evolution and aquatic adaption, and thus reference genomes of marine mammals can provide evolutionary insights. Here, we present the first chromosome‐level marine mammal genome assembly based on

Standardization of Dolphin Cardiac Auscultation and Characterization of Heart Murmurs in Managed and Free-Ranging Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Cardiac auscultation is an important, albeit underutilized tool in aquatic animal medicine due to the many challenges associated with in-water examinations.

Rapid weight loss in free ranging pygmy killer whales (Feresa attenuata) and the implications for anthropogenic disturbance of odontocetes

Scientific Reports, 2021
Understanding the impacts of foraging disruptions to odontocete body condition is fundamental to quantifying biological effects of human disturbance and environmental changes on cetacean populations.
