Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 6, Page 1514-1529, June 2026.
Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...

Estimating the impact of bycatch and calculating bycatch limits to achieve conservation objectives as applied to harbour porpoise in the North Sea

open access: yes, 2009
Incidental catch, or bycatch, of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in fishing operations is an international conservation issue. The main objective of this thesis was to develop methods for determining the impact of bycatch on the state and dynamics ...

Pleistocene and Holocene Mobility of Detrital Platinum in Southern New Zealand: Review and Regional Synthesis

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Detrital platinum group minerals (PGM) are rare and distinctive in Pleistocene–Holocene sedimentary systems of the southern South Island, thereby enabling tracking of their long‐distance transport for ∼200 km. The first ∼100 km of transport involved Pleistocene glaciofluvial processes southwards down the Waiau River, where PGM (principally Pt–Fe and Ru–

Population status, threats and conservation of the Yangtze finless porpoise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis) is currently limited to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River from Yichang to Shanghai, China, and the adjoining Poyang and Dongting Lakes.

Temporal changes in the dietary niche of sympatric seals provides insight into the role of competition in population declines

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Competition theory suggests that interspecific prey competition can result in changes to the dietary niche, but obtaining timeseries of data from sympatric species experiencing temporal variation in competition is challenging. Scotland is an important area for two species of seals, but over the past 20 years, populations of harbour seals Phoca vitulina

Variation in habitat preference and distribution of harbour porpoises west of Scotland

open access: yes, 2011
The waters off the west coast of Scotland have one of the highest densities of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in Europe. Harbour porpoise are listed under Annex II of the EU Habitats Directive, requiring the designation of Special Areas of ...

The Influence of Sea Ice and Ice Mélange on Outlet Glacier Dynamics in the Arctic and Antarctic: Recent Progress and Future Challenges

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Sea ice is situated close to the termini of many outlet glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic and has the potential to influence their dynamics and, therefore, their contribution to sea level rise. However, the nature, prevalence, and ice‐dynamic significance of sea ice‐glacier interactions remains subject to several open questions.
