Bio-Inspired Covert Active Sonar Strategy
Sensors, 2018 The covertness of the active sonar is a very important issue and the sonar signal waveform design problem was studied to improve covertness of the system.

An update on pacemaking in the myometrium
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The spread of multiple electrical signals (panel A, blue‐to‐red indicates increasing electrical excitability) that are spatiotemporally distinct, yet in‐phase with the excitatory episode, determines action potential shape and form (panel B, as recorded by single cell microelectrodes) and ensures contractile amplitude and duration

Strategies, costs and counter‐strategies to sexual coercion
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1557-1577, August 2025.ABSTRACT Sexual conflict, the conflict between the evolutionary interests of females and males over mating, occasionally results in the evolution of traits favourable for one sex and adverse for the other. In this context, males can use sexual coercion to increase their mating success, at the expense of their female targets' mate choice.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.This study documents a rare sighting of a Ziphius cavirostris with a severe dorsal injury in the Western Mediterranean likely linked to human activity. The observation, made during a ferry‐based monitoring survey, highlights the value of opportunistic platforms in detecting underreported sub‐lethal injuries and underscores the need for targeted ...

A machine-learning approach to assign species to ‘unidentified’ entangled whales
Endangered Species Research, 2018 Whale entanglements in US west coast fishing gear are largely represented by opportunistic sightings, and some reports lack species identifications due to rough seas, distance from whales, or a lack of cetacean identification expertise.

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 39, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract Several initiatives to conserve, restore or better manage fisheries, fishes, whales, and other marine animals have been proposed as natural climate solutions to sequester carbon from the atmosphere or avoid new emissions. We reviewed the knowledge and uncertainties surrounding carbon fluxes and storage mediated by these organisms to evaluate ...

A computational framework to characterize and compare the tonal repertoires of toothed whales
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1350-1368, July 2025.Abstract Toothed whales, despite being one of the most acoustically specialized lineages of vertebrates, lack detailed vocal repertoire characterizations comparable to those of songbirds and primates. Current descriptions often lack standardization, limiting interspecies and intraspecies comparisons critical for understanding the contribution of ...

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2020 We report on a partial skeleton of sperm whale (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Physeteroidea) from the Pietra leccese, a Miocene limestone widely exposed in the Salento Peninsula (southern Italy).

Adaptations of the Vertebrate Retina to Low‐Light Conditions: A Review
Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 54, Issue 4, July 2025.ABSTRACT Vision is a critical sensory modality in vertebrates, enabling diverse adaptations to environmental challenges. This review explores the remarkable adaptations of vertebrate eyes to low‐light environments, such as nocturnal habitats, deep‐sea ecosystems and subterranean niches.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 3, July 2025.Abstract The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) is one of the most widely distributed cetaceans. Adult males commonly occupy high latitudes, whereas females and juveniles occupy lower latitudes. In Northern Norway, previous studies focused on the summer period limiting our understanding of the seasonal dynamics of male foraging aggregations.
