Integrating eDNA and Visual Surveys With Ocean Drift Models to Monitor Marine Mammals in Tropical Waters

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding for monitoring marine mammals in tropical waters around Réunion Island. By combining visual surveys with eDNA sampling and reverse particle drift modeling, we show that eDNA captures local cetacean presence and offers additional spatial insight when integrated with ...

A computational framework to characterize and compare the tonal repertoires of toothed whales

open access: yesMethods 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 ...

Occurrence, site‐fidelity and photo‐identification of long‐finned pilot whales in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 398-417, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Despite frequently stranding, little is known about free‐ranging long‐finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas edwardii) in Aotearoa/New Zealand. This study used long‐term data to determine the occurrence, seasonal site‐fidelity, group size distribution and individual identity of pilot whales off the east coast of New Zealand.

Understanding causes of morbidity and mortality in Southern Hemisphere small Odontoceti: a scoping review

open access: yesMammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2025.
This review identifies key causes of morbidity and mortality in Southern Hemisphere small Odontoceti, highlighting significant anthropogenic threats and the enhanced need for conservation strategies. Key findings include high rates of entanglements and a diverse range of infectious pathogens. Abstract Marine mammals serve as sentinels for environmental

Fatty acids in milk of marine little toothed whales Stenella attenuata.

open access: yesNIPPON SUISAN GAKKAISHI, 1981
The composition and quantity of free short-chain acids in the milk of whales Stenella attenuata and the composition of short-and long-chain acids in their milk lipids were studied. The content of lipids in the milk was about 19.7%, the REICHERT-MEISSL value about 6.1, and the content of free short-chain acids about 3.1 meq/l.
