Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.Cetacean eDNA metabarcoding results from the aquarium pool samples using new cetacean‐specific primers. μCeta shows superior performance to detect and differentiate different cetacean species. ABSTRACT Biodiversity monitoring is crucial for understanding ecosystem dynamics and species distributions, particularly in the context of anthropogenic impacts ...

Environmental 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
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 ...

New 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.

Morphology and distribution of the spinner dolphin, Stenella longirostris, rough-toothed dolphin, Stenella bredanensis and melon-headed whale, Peponocephala electra, from waters off the Sultanate of Oman [PDF]
, 1999 The morphology of three tropical delphinids from the Sultanate of Oman and their occurrence in the Arabian Sea are presented. Body lengths of four physically mature spinner dolphins (three males) ranged from 154-178.3cm (median 164.5cm), i.e.

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