Brucellosis in Marine Mammals: Meta‐Analysis of Prevalence, Infection Patterns, Host Specificity and Zoonotic Potential

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Marine brucellosis shows high prevalence in cetaceans (52%), followed by other marine mammals (30%) and pinnipeds (18%), indicating species‐specific susceptibility. These findings highlight the need for targeted surveillance and diagnostic strategies to mitigate ecological and zoonotic risks.

Contrasting abundance and residency patterns of two sympatric populations of transient killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the northern Gulf of Alaska [PDF]

, 2012
Two sympatric populations of “transient” (mammal-eating) killer whales were photo-identified over 27 years (1984–2010) in Prince William Sound and Kenai Fjords, coastal waters of the northern Gulf of Alaska (GOA).

Complete Mitochondrial Genomes Provide Evidence of a Killer Whale Refugium Off the Coast of Japan During the Last Glacial Maximum

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim During glacial periods, highly mobile species often shifted to warmer, ice‐free regions known as refugia, which frequently maintained higher genetic diversity than newly colonised areas after glacial retreat. We analyse complete mitogenome sequences from 11 killer whale samples in Nemuro Strait to test the hypothesis that waters around ...

Morphology and development of the baculum in harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)

Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 4, Page 381-391, August 2025.
This study examines the ontogenetic changes in the morphology of the penis bone in the harbour seal, focusing on the implications for sexual maturity and reproductive function. A large comparative dataset of approx. 300 genital bones from 1 year to over 20 years of age was used for analyses.

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Response to Influenza in Grey Seals (Halichoerus grypus), a Potential Wild Reservoir

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.
ABSTRACT RNA viruses are infamous for their ability to cross species barriers, posing threats to global health and security. Influenza A virus (IAV) is naturally found in avian hosts but periodically spills over into marine wildlife. IAV outbreaks occur in the Northwest Atlantic, but grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) appear to be less susceptible to IAV ...

How Fragmented Is eDNA? A Case Study on Shark DNA in Tropical Reef Seawater

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 4, July–August 2025.
This study quantified mitochondrial eDNA fragment lengths in offshore tropical seawater using qPCR assays targeting amplicons from 119 to 15,727 bp in tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier). Copy numbers steeply declined with increasing fragment size, with successful amplification up to 1518 bp and a calculated mean undamaged fragment size of 256 bp.
