Marine Mammals in the Anthropocene: Developing a Systematic Evidence Base of Threats to Nineteen Species

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species. There are knowledge gaps for species and threats, with effort unequal across many species' ranges.

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

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 ...

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.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) Technology in Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health Research: Advances and Prospects

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This review synthesizes over 15 years of advancements in eDNA technology by systematizing standardized guidelines for sampling, extraction, and bioinformatics, thereby enhancing the reproducibility of eDNA‐based research. It highlights eDNA's transformative role in noninvasively detecting rare, endangered, and invasive species, as well as its value in ...

First At‐Sea Identifications of Ginkgo‐Toothed Beaked Whale (Mesoplodon ginkgodens): Acoustics, Genetics, and Biological Observations Off Baja California, México

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT In 2024, an expedition was conducted off northwestern Baja California, México, to find and identify the beaked whale species that produced the BW43 echolocation pulse previously recorded in this area and elsewhere in the North Pacific. There were five Mesoplodon sightings and 21 BW43 acoustic detections on both a towed array and drifting pole ...

Seasonal Abundance and Distribution of Cetaceans in a High Traffic Shipping Corridor

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The recovery of many cetacean species coincides spatially and temporally with intensifying anthropogenic threats. We undertook multi‐year systematic surveys to quantify seasonal abundance and document the distribution of at‐risk cetaceans, which is needed to assess the impacts of increasing human activities in the Canadian portions of the ...

Talking About the Weather: The Feasibility of Using Very High‐Resolution Optical Satellite Imagery to Monitor Live and Stranded Cetaceans Around the UK and UK Overseas Territories

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Monitoring live and stranded cetaceans can be expensive and logistically challenging, resulting in knowledge gaps. Very high‐resolution (VHR) optical satellites are considered a potential solution to addressing some of these gaps. Despite success at detecting live and stranded cetaceans, satellites have only been trialed on restricted ...
