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 ...

Social responses of travelling finless porpoises to boat traffic risk in Misumi West Port, Ariake Sound, Japan.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Anthropogenic effects have created various risks for wild animals. Boat traffic is one of the most fatal risks for marine mammals. Individual behavioral responses of cetaceans, including diving behavior such as changing swimming direction and lengthing ...

First record of a Critically Endangered species, European sturgeon, in the stomach of harbor porpoises from the North Sea

Endangered Species Research
The European sturgeon Acipenser sturio has been of substantial commercial interest in the past. Today it is considered Critically Endangered, with only one remaining population in Europe.

Harbour porpoises respond to recreational boats by speeding up and moving away from the boat path

Ecology and Evolution
Recreational boats are common in many coastal waters, yet their effects on cetaceans and other sensitive marine species remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we used drone video footage recorded from a recreational boat to quantify how
