Influence of past climate change on phylogeography and demographic history of narwhals, Monodon monoceros. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2020 The Arctic is warming at an unprecedented rate, with unknown consequences for endemic fauna. However, Earth has experienced severe climatic oscillations in the past, and understanding how species responded to them might provide insight into their ...

Contrasting new and available reference genomes to highlight uncertainties in assemblies and areas for future improvement: an example with monodontid species [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background Reference genomes provide a foundational framework for evolutionary investigations, ecological analysis, and conservation science, yet uncertainties in the assembly of reference genomes are difficult to assess, and by extension rarely ...

Vocal sequences in narwhals (Monodon monoceros). [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020 Sequences are indicative of signal complexity in vocal communication. While vocal sequences are well-described in birds and terrestrial mammals, the extent to which marine mammals use them is less well understood.

Use of glacial fronts by narwhals (Monodon monoceros) in West Greenland. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2016 Glacial fronts are important summer habitat for narwhals ( Monodon monoceros ); however, no studies have quantified which glacial properties attract whales. We investigated the importance of glacial habitats using telemetry data from n = 15 whales tagged in September of 1993, 1994, 2006 and ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Deep diving air-breathing species by necessity must balance submergence time and level of exercise during breath-holding: a low activity level preserves oxygen stores and allows longer duration submergence whereas high activity levels consume oxygen ...

Evidence of a narwhal (Monodon monoceros) summer ground in Nares Strait
Polar ResearchOur limited knowledge of the marine mammal fauna in northernmost Greenland and Canada, specifically north of 80°N, relies largely on opportunistic observations collected during expeditions with different objectives.

Use of tusks by narwhals, Monodon monoceros, in foraging, exploratory, and play behavior
Frontiers in Marine ScienceDespite the universal fascination with the tusk of the narwhal, the function of this long, spiraled tooth is still debated, primarily because few people have observed how narwhals (Monodon monoceros) use their tusks in the wild.

Alphaherpesvirus infection in a free-ranging narwhal Monodon monoceros from Arctic Canada.
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2023 We report the detection of an alphaherpesvirus infecting an adult female narwhal Monodon monoceros captured live during a tagging project in Tremblay Sound, Nunavut, Canada, in August 2018.
