Dolphins Stranded along the Tuscan Coastline (Central Italy) of the “Pelagos Sanctuary”: A Parasitological Investigation

Pathogens, 2020
Parasite monitoring is considered a necessary step for cetacean management and conservation. Between February 2013 and July 2015, 26 dolphins (15 Stenella coeruleoalba, 10 Tursiops truncatus, and one Grampus griseus) stranded along the Tuscan coastline ...

Budd-Chiari-like pathology in dolphins

Scientific Reports, 2022
Nearly two decades ago, pathologic examination results suggested that acoustic factors, such as mid-frequency active naval military sonar (MFAS) could be the cause of acute decompression-like sickness in stranded beaked whales.

Concentration of mercury and selenium in tissues of five cetacean species from Croatian coastal waters [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2015
Mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) concentrations were measured in muscle, liver, kidney, spleen and lung tissues of five cetacean species, three dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba, Tursiops truncatus and Grampus griseus) and two whale species ...

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?

Marine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

A new Multilocus Sequence Typing scheme and its application for the characterization of Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae associated with mortality in cetaceans

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae (PDD) is a known pathogen of fish, humans and marine mammals. In this study, a Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) scheme based on six housekeeping genes (glp, gyrB, metG, pnt, pyrC and toxR) was developed to better ...

Radiographic Assessment of Bone Maturation: A Tool to Estimate Sexual Maturity in Common Dolphins (Delphinus delphis)?

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate inference of sexual maturity is fundamental to interpreting marine mammal life histories and population structure. Using Bayesian logistic regression models with a hierarchical ordinal (HOF‐style) parameterisation and canonical analysis of principal coordinates (CAP), we evaluate skeletal metrics in the pectoral flippers of common ...

First Record of a Presumed Risso's Dolphin Calf Associated With a Bottlenose Dolphin in the Mediterranean Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
During a survey in June 2025, researchers recorded a presumed Risso's dolphin calf swimming in echelon position within a bottlenose dolphin group off the Catalan coast (north‐eastern Iberian Peninsula). Two possible interpretations are discussed: (1) it may represent the first hybrid calf reported in the Mediterranean, or (2) it may be the first ...

Unveiling Patterns in Cetacean Strandings Along Southern Atlantic Iberia: Temporal and Spatial Trends, Seasonality, and Causes of Death

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We compiled 46 years of cetacean strandings in the Algarve, Portugal, describing temporal–spatial patterns, size–sex structure, and causes of death (COD). We analyzed national records and years with a dedicated regional stranding network (SN) to assess annual/seasonal trends, spatial hotspots, and compare biometrics and COD.

Applying the Ecological Trap Concept to Cetaceans

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Wild animals may select poor‐quality habitats due to mismatches between perceived and actual habitat quality, creating ecological traps. Although well explored in terrestrial systems, this concept remains underutilized for marine species.
