Whole Genome Analyses of the Endangered Northern Abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana) Reveal Population Differentiation and a Genomic Signature of a Dramatic Population Decline

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite widespread declines of many wildlife species, the effects of population decline on the genome and the recovery potential of affected species are still poorly understood, especially beyond a few charismatic species. The Northern abalone (or Pinto abalone; Haliotis kamtschatkana) is a marine gastropod mollusk of social, cultural and ...

The Importance of Individual Body Condition in Mammalian Behavioural Responses to Disturbance

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Body condition, shaped by the balance between energy demands and reserves, predictably shapes mammalian disturbance responses. Poor‐condition individuals adopt needs‐based strategies, accepting greater risks to meet immediate energetic needs, while good‐condition individuals follow asset‐protection strategies, minimizing risks to protect their survival

Did the pile driving during the construction of the Offshore Wind Farm Egmond aan Zee, the Netherlands, impact porpoises?

, 2009
The Dutch consortium "NoordzeeWind" has built the first offshore wind farm in Dutch North Sea waters, known as "Offshore Wind farm Egmond aan Zee" (OWEZ) Part of the construction works consisted of driving 36 monopiles into the sea floor, during April ...

Whole‐Genome‐Sequencing Reveals Demographic History and Patterns of Parallel Adaptive Evolution in Indo‐Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) Across Coastal Australian Seascapes

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how demographic dynamics interact with environmental heterogeneity is central to explaining patterns of genomic variation in the marine realm. Indo‐Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) occur along most of the Australian coastline, from tropical to temperate waters, encompassing pronounced differences in temperature ...

An investigation of factors related to the bycatch of small cetaceans in fishing gear

, 2011
The bycatch of cetaceans in fishing gear is considered to be one of the biggest conservation threats to these species. Gear modifications have the potential to reduce these bycatches in global fisheries but there is little available information on how ...

Temporal and spatial biosonar activity of the recently established uppermost Yangtze finless porpoise population downstream of the Gezhouba Dam: Correlation with hydropower cascade development, shipping, hydrological regime, and light intensity

Ecology and Evolution
Numerous dams disrupt freshwater animals. The uppermost population of the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise has been newly formed below the Gezhouba Dam, however, information regarding the local porpoise is scarce.

Genomic Insights Into the Evolutionary History of Berardius Beaked Whales: Speciation Driven by Resource Specialization, Gigantism and Thermal Barriers?

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the diversity of our oceans is fundamental now more than ever as climate change and human activities put increasing pressure on marine species and ecosystems. Beaked whales (family Ziphiidae) are among the most poorly understood marine mammals, in part due to their affinity to offshore underwater canyons and prolonged diving ...
