Passive acoustic monitoring of sperm whales and anthropogenic noise using stereophonic recordings in the Mediterranean Sea, North West Pelagos Sanctuary

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
A total of 147 days spread over 4 years were recorded by a stereophonic sonobuoy set up in the Mediterranean sea, near the coast of Toulon, south of France. These recordings were analyzed in the scope of studying sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) and

Environmental Drivers of Jumbo Squid During Fishery Collapse in the Gulf of California (2019–2024)

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) is a cephalopod endemic to the eastern Pacific with significant ecological and economic importance. Its exploitation in the Gulf of California (GC) peaked in the 1990s, with catches exceeding 100,000 tons, but collapsed in 2009 and virtually disappeared by 2015, largely due to environmental changes and ...

Critical Decline of the Eastern Caribbean Sperm Whale Population.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) populations were expected to rebuild following the end of commercial whaling. We document the decline of the population in the eastern Caribbean by tracing demographic changes of well-studied social units.

Geographical and Seasonal Distribution of Australian Pygmy Right Whales (Caperea marginata) Based on Passive Acoustics

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The pygmy right whale (Caperea marginata) is one of the least studied mysticete species. To shed light on its geographic and seasonal distribution, we compiled archival acoustic recordings from 26 sites across southern Australia and developed a deep‐learning detector for pygmy right whale “doublet” vocalizations.

Unveiling Patterns in Cetacean Strandings Along Southern Atlantic Iberia: Temporal and Spatial Trends, Seasonality, and Causes of Death

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We compiled 46 years of cetacean strandings in the Algarve, Portugal, describing temporal–spatial patterns, size–sex structure, and causes of death (COD). We analyzed national records and years with a dedicated regional stranding network (SN) to assess annual/seasonal trends, spatial hotspots, and compare biometrics and COD.
