First documentation of humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) post-mortem attendance of a stillborn

Discover Animals
Cetaceans are some of the most charismatic marine species receiving regular widespread public attention. They display highly complex behaviour including post-mortem attentive behaviour sometimes referred to as grieving behaviour.

Respiration Patterns of Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis) Mothers and Calves in Southern Brazil

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Respiration is a key physiological process in cetaceans, closely linked to energy expenditure, behavior, and physiological state. Using drone‐based surveys, we quantified respiration patterns of southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) mother–calf pairs in southern Brazil across two reproductive seasons (2020–2021).

Megaptera novaeangliae COI

, 2018
Insights into Megaptera novaeangliae COI sequence analysis Over more than a decade ago, COI region have been widely studied with the purpose to develop a “barcode” for species (e.g., Arnason et al., 2004; Amaral et al., 2007).

Using Aerial Photogrammetry to Estimate Body Condition and Assess Sexual Dimorphism in Narwhals

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Arctic is warming rapidly, impacting ice‐dependent species and communities that rely on them for resources. Body condition indices (BCI) are widely used to assess individual health within populations. We adapted the methodology to improve accessibility for estimating narwhal body condition from drone footage, using body length, body width,

Characterizing Habitat Suitability of Long‐Finned Pilot Whales in a Key Conservation Region of the Southern Iberian Peninsula Using Satellite Tracking Data

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The waters surrounding the southern Iberian Peninsula are a key conservation area for the long‐finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas melas), particularly in the pelagic regions of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Alboran Sea, and the Gulf of Vera, where upwelling, complex bathymetry and frontal dynamics enhance productivity and prey availability,

First documented movement of a humpback whale between the Cape Verde Islands and West Greenland

Ecology and Evolution
The endangered population of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) breeding and calving off the Cape Verde Islands (CVI) are known to migrate to feeding areas located along the eastern margin of the North Atlantic Ocean (Iceland, and Norway). Here, we
