Fossils as cultural heritage: Scientific, commercial and legislative issues

Geology Today, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 263-272, September/October 2026.
Fossils are among the principal sources for understanding the history of life through ‘Deep Time’ and can inform projections of biotic responses to environmental change. Despite a widespread recognition of the scientific, historical and communication significance of fossils in our culture, their role as part of our cultural heritage is still far from ...

Machine learning to predict killer whale (Orcinus orca) behaviors using partially labeled vocalization data

Frontiers in Marine Science
Orcinus orca (killer whales) exhibit complex calls. In a call, an orca typically varies the frequencies, varies the length, varies the temporal patterns, varies their volumes, and can use multiple frequencies simultaneously.

Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in the Indo‐Pacific: A Review of Their Distribution, Population Structure, and Ecology

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.
This review synthesises knowledge on killer whales across the Indo‐Pacific through the integration of published studies and collaboration. It shows that variation in killer whale occurrence, diet, and fisheries interactions is shaped by environmental heterogeneity and uneven research effort and highlights knowledge gaps with implications for ...

Concentrations of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Polychlorinated Dibenzo-pdioxins and Furans (PCDD/Fs), and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) as Functions of Sample Depth in Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) Blubber

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2010
Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were examined as a function of depth in killer whale (Orcinus orca) blubber samples.

Yulendji Bunwurrung Walagunh With Western Science: Ecological Insights, Emerging Research Questions and Future Directions From Bunurong Stories of Marine Mammals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Indigenous Knowledge systems contain deep, place‐based ecological insights developed over generations but remain underrepresented in biodiversity assessments and conservation planning. This study explores yulendji Bunwurrung (Bunurong knowledge) through five Stories shared by a Bunurong Elder, using thematic analysis and comparison with contemporary ...

Advancing Amino Acid Isotope‐Inferred Trophic Ecology in an Apex Predator: Insights From a Data‐Rich Killer Whale Population

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Amino acid‐specific nitrogen isotope analysis (d15N‐AA) is widely used to infer trophic ecology but remains poorly validated in marine predators. Using a data‐rich killer whale population, we show that diet is the primary driver of nitrogen isotope composition of individual amino acids and of the multivariate isotopic space, with little effect of sex ...

Killer whales attack on South American sea lion associated with a fishing vessel: predator and prey tactics Ataque de orcas a un lobo marino sudamericano asociado a un barco pesquero: tácticas del predador y la presa

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2012
Interactions between killer whales and sea lions are widely known. This work describes the predator-prey behaviour of killer whales and South American sea lion associated with a trawling fishery. In Argentina the predatory behaviours of killer whales and
