Social and economic consequences of conservation of endangered Vaquita, Phocoena sinus, in Gulf of California, México

, 2015
The conservation of ecosystems and marine species are a latent concern of the Mexican government. Since the creation of the Upper Gulf of California Biosphere Reserve in 1993, it has been a priority to protect endangered species and their habitats.

Sharing Is Caring?—Pathogens and Pathogen‐Specific Antibodies in Arctic Endemic Seal Species and the Newly Sympatric Harbor Seals in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change associated transformations of Arctic marine ecosystems are having detrimental impacts on Arctic endemic marine mammals. However, warming conditions are providing new habitats for temperate marine mammals, some of which are expanding into Arctic regions, posing a threat of novel pathogen introduction and disease transmission.

Quiet Signals of Burmeister's Porpoises (Phocoena spinipinnis) Recorded in Chile and Peru

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Burmeister's porpoises are cryptic and challenging to detect visually. More information on their acoustic signals could facilitate the use of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and help to better understand their ecology. Here, clicks were recorded from two different Burmeister's porpoise populations, one in Chile and the other in Peru, using a

Exploring Marine Mammal Cognition as a Conservation Tool

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities.

Leveraging Synteny to Generate Reference Genomes for Conservation: Assembling the Genomes of Hector's and Māui Dolphins

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Escalating concern regarding the impacts of reduced genetic diversity on the conservation of endangered species has spurred efforts to obtain chromosome‐level genomes through consortia such as the Vertebrate Genomes Project. However, assembling reference genomes for many threatened species remains challenging due to difficulties obtaining ...

The Dead Do Tell Tales: Using Pathology Data From Cetacean Necropsy Reports to Gain Insights Into Animal Health

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Assessing long‐term health in wildlife populations remains challenging, especially for cetaceans, whose mobility and cryptic behaviour limit traditional assessments based solely on body condition. By analysing 349 necropsy records of harbour porpoises stranded along the Scottish coastline, we created a structured pathology database and applied machine ...
