First assessment of passive acoustics as a tool to monitor the endangered Mediterranean monk seal in the Madeira Archipelago (Portugal)

Olfaction at depth: Cribriform plate size declines with dive depth and duration in aquatic arctoid carnivorans

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
It is widely accepted that obligate aquatic mammals, specifically toothed whales, rely relatively little on olfaction. There is less agreement about the importance of smell among aquatic mammals with residual ties to land, such as pinnipeds and sea ...
