Strandings and at sea observations reveal the canary archipelago as an important habitat for pygmy and dwarf sperm whale

Advances in Marine Biology
Cetaceans are a critical component of marine ecosystems, acting as top predators in mesopelagic trophic webs. In the Macaronesian biogeographical region, cetacean populations face threats from various anthropogenic activities. Evaluating cryptic oceanic species like kogiids whales is challenging due to insufficient biological and ecological data ...

A histological study of the facial hair follicles in the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps)

Advances in Marine Biology, 2023
In the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps, Blainville 1838), vibrissae are present in neonates, but within a few months the hairs are lost, and the structures remain as empty vibrissal crypts (VCs). In this work, we have studied histologically the facial vibrissal follicles of two juveniles and one adult specimens stranded dead.

SUBACUTE ATROPINE TOXICITY IN A PYGMY SPERM WHALE, KOGIA BREVICEPS

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2002
Atropine, an anticholinergic agent commonly used in human and veterinary medicine, is reported to cause toxicity associated with its antimuscarinic action. A juvenile pygmy sperm whale, Kogia breviceps, was treated with atropine in an attempt to relieve symptoms similar to pyloric stenosis, as has been used in humans. Two doses of 0.01 mg/kg were given

Notes on stomach contents of pygmy and dwarf sperm whales (Kogia spp.) from around Japan

Advances in Marine Biology, 2023
The diets of pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (K. sima) sperm whales in Japanese waters are poorly known. We report new information on the diets of these two species from these waters based on identifiable hard-part remains recovered from the stomach contents of 29 whales (11 pygmy and 18 dwarf sperm whales) that stranded between 1991 and 2021; those ...

THE MICROSCOPIC AND IMMUNOHISTOLOGIC ANATOMY OF THE ENDOCRINE PANCREAS OF PYGMY AND DWARF SPERM WHALES (KOGIIDAE)

Marine Mammal Science, 1988
AbstractHistologic studies of pancreatic tissues of one pygmy sperm whale, Kiogia breviceps, and one dwarf sperm whale, K. simus, demonstrated rather typical exocrine pancreatic anatomy. Peroxidase‐antiperoxidase (PAP) techniques determined that the cell composition of the islets of Langerhans resembled that of other mammals.

Marine debris ingestion and human impacts on the Pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) in southern Brazil

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
Pygmy sperm whales, Kogia breviceps (Kogiidae), are a small cetacean that inhabits Mesopelagic regions near the continental shelf. In this study we present record of plastic ingestion by K. breviceps in Brazil. In August 2010 on the coast of Rio Grande do Sul, a carcass was found showing evidences of interaction with fishing nets.
