Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The pygmy right whale (Caperea marginata) is one of the least studied mysticete species. To shed light on its geographic and seasonal distribution, we compiled archival acoustic recordings from 26 sites across southern Australia and developed a deep‐learning detector for pygmy right whale “doublet” vocalizations.

Ecological niches of three teuthophageous odontocetes in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2008 In the northwestern Mediterranean Sea, sperm whales, pilot whales and Risso's dolphins prey exclusively or preferentially on cephalopods. In order to evaluate their competition, we modelled their habitat suitability with the Ecological Niche Factor ...

MONICEPH project: Monitoring cephalopods during whale-watching activity in the Azores (2020-2024) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThe study of oceanic cephalopods off the Azores Archipelago began decades ago with the analysis of stomach contents from sperm whales that were hunted for the whaling industry.

Applying the Ecological Trap Concept to Cetaceans
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Wild animals may select poor‐quality habitats due to mismatches between perceived and actual habitat quality, creating ecological traps. Although well explored in terrestrial systems, this concept remains underutilized for marine species.

Karyotypes and idiograms of sperm and pygmy sperm whales [PDF]
Hereditas, 2009 The somatic chromosomes of the sperm whale, Physeter catodon L. and the pygmy sperm whale, Kogia breviceps Blainville, were studied. The chromosome number of both species is 2n=42. The sperm and pygmy sperm whales are the only cetaceans, so far recorded, with a chromosome number deviating from 2n=44.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) play an important role in marine ecosystems as top predators, nutrient vectors, and indicators of ecosystem health. In Aotearoa New Zealand, sperm whales remain largely understudied other than at Kaikōura, a foraging area for males.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals diverse animal communities across Cape Range and Cloates submarine canyons off Western Australia. Two assays detected 234 species spanning 125 families across 11 phyla, highlighting canyon‐specific assemblages and demonstrating the value of eDNA for establishing biodiversity baselines in remote and poorly ...
