Crowdsourcing Moby Dick! Modern and historical data identify sperm whale habitat offshore of SW Australia

open access: yes, 2013
The distribution and use of the pelagic habitat by sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) is generally poorly understood in Western Australia. However, a variety of data are becoming available to researchers via online portals from where records of ...

Killer whale (Orcinus orca) occurrence and predation in the Bahamas

open access: yes, 2013
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) have a cosmopolitan distribution, yet little is known about populations that inhabit tropical waters. We compiled 34 sightings of killer whales in the Bahamas, recorded from 1913 to 2011. Group sizes were generallysmall (mean

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Produced From Cryopreserved Pygmy Sperm Whale (Kogia Breviceps) Lung Tissue

open access: yes, 2011
Concern over marine mammal health has risen in the last decade due to increases in mortality, unusual mortality events and previously undetected pathologies. Developing environmental trends, such as global warming and acute environmental insults, such as

First insights into the microbiota within the oral cavity of the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps)

open access: yes
The number of environmental surveillance reports of the ocean ecosystem through systematic studies on marine mammal health and disease is increasing. Understanding host-microbe interactions in cetaceans may contribute to the identification of compromised populations, microbial markers of disease, and ultimately to scientifically base population ...

Investigation of pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps ) populations in the southeastern United States using stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in teeth

open access: yes, 2015
The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) is currently the second-most commonly stranded cetacean in the Southeastern United States (SEUS), but information concerning their population structure is severely limited.
