Temperature and Ultraviolet Radiation Influence the Skin Microbiome of Humpback Whales
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT The skin microbiome of humpback whales harbours diverse microbial communities that play a crucial role in host skin protection and environmental interaction. However, studies on cetacean skin microbiomes in the Southern Hemisphere focus on feeding grounds, with limited information on microbiome dynamics at breeding grounds and during migration

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.HPAI H5N1 was confirmed in 22 South Polar Skuas and one Kelp Gull on Dismal and Horseshoe Islands, Marguerite Bay, Western Antarctic Peninsula in early 2025, with high mortalities consistent with global trends. Rapid antigen tests showed 90% agreement with rRT‐PCR, supporting their utility for early detection in remote environments.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Satellite‐linked tags on 34 southern right whales revealed basin‐scale movements and foraging concentrated in the ACC, Crozet Islands, Benguela system, and the highly variable seasonal ice zone. Environmental modelling revealed environmental drivers behind foraging decisions, and identified key ecosystems.

Pathology and causes of death in stranded humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) from Brazil.
PLoS ONE, 2018 This study describes the pathologic findings of 24 humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) found stranded along the Brazilian coast from 2004 to 2016. Eighteen (75%) animals evaluated were found stranded alive. From these, 13 died naturally on shore and
