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.

Correcting Lipid Extraction Effects on Nitrogen Isotopic Values (δ15N) in Cetacean Skin
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Stable isotopes of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) are widely used to study the feeding ecology of cetaceans, as they provide critical insights into diet and migratory behaviors. Lipids in tissues may bias the interpretation of δ13C. Because of this, lipids need to be extracted before measuring stable isotope ratios, but their removal may ...

Spondylitis in a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) from the southeast Pacific [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2007 A 7.25 m long male humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) with spondylitis was found beached on August 13, 1994 at Ancon, Ecuador (2 degrees 23' S, 80 degrees 47' W). The condition involved at least 11 vertebrae, 7 lumbar (L4 to L11) and 4 caudal (Ca1 to Ca4).

Population Demographics of Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in Western Australia
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding population demographics is crucial for the effective conservation of species. This is particularly important for apex predators, such as the killer whale (Orcinus orca), which play important roles in maintaining the structure and function of ecosystems. In this study, we used capture‐mark‐recapture (CMR) modeling to assess killer

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

Utilizing Exhaled Breath and Skin Microbiomes in Assessments of At‐Risk Killer Whales (Orcinus orca)
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT For at‐risk populations of killer whales (Orcinus orca), biological samples can offer information about individual animal status. We hypothesized that low‐yield samples could provide sufficient material for microbiome analysis. We collected and analyzed, with amplicon metabarcoding, breath samples from managed care and free‐ranging killer ...
