Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and

Hirnlipom beim Buckelwal, Megaptera novaeangliae [PDF]

Pathologia veterinaria, 1966
A case of basal lipoma at the border of the pons and medulla oblongata is described in a male, adult humpback whale. The tumor was relatively isomorphic and had angiomatous structures in its capsule. The adjacent choroid plexus showed stromal proliferation with atrophy of the papillae and hyperplasia of the taenia chorioidea.

Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Site Fidelity, Residency, and Movement Patterns in Ireland Based on Citizen Science Data

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the residency and movement patterns of large cetaceans like the humpback whale is crucial for effective conservation. In Ireland, the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group has been collecting humpback whale data since the 1990s, primarily through citizen science.

Possible Distress Sounds from a Stranded Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae)

Aquatic Mammals, 2017
This note describes the sound production by a stranded humpback whale off the coast of Uruguay (35° S) in the Rio de la Plata estuary. No previous study of humpback whale sounds in Uruguayan waters exists, potentially due to the open sea habitat of Uruguay and the even rarer occurrence of a stranding.

Virological Sampling of Inaccessible Wildlife with Drones

Viruses, 2018
There is growing interest in characterizing the viromes of diverse mammalian species, particularly in the context of disease emergence. However, little is known about virome diversity in aquatic mammals, in part due to difficulties in sampling.
