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.

PLoS ONE, 2021 High-resolution non-invasive cetacean tagging systems can be used to investigate the influence of habitat characteristics and management factors on behavior by quantifying activity levels and distance traveled by bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus ...

Establishing death in stranded Odontocetes (toothed whales) using other mammals : a pilot study : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University [PDF]
, 2003 The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate a new method for determining death in stranded odontocetes (toothed whales). The new method was using the pulsations seen in the retinal blood vessels in the place of the heart rate. The retinal blood

A kinematic study on (un)intentional imitation in bottlenose dolphins [PDF]
, 2015 The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of observing other's movements on subsequent performance in bottlenose dolphins. The imitative ability of non-human animals has intrigued a number of researchers.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Most extant beaked whales have reduced dentition of one or two pairs of tusk‐like, mandibular teeth that erupt through the gum only in adult males. Additional teeth have been recorded in several species and genera. A juvenile Hector's beaked whale (SAMA M26434) having additional teeth was collected in South Australia and its skeleton and ...

Cetaceans value and conservation in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
, 2015 This review provides an overview of the Mediterranean diversity and conservation status of cetaceans, and the value associated with their conservation and non-consumptive use. Mediterranean Sea is one of the world's diversity hotspots.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study presents the first empirical evidence of successful rehabilitation and post‐release monitoring of a short‐finned pilot whale in the South China Sea—a region where such data are critically lacking despite frequent stranding events. Using satellite telemetry and a dedicated resighting expedition, we documented the 52‐day movement, diving ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We applied eDNA metabarcoding to assess vertebrate diversity in the Rance Estuary, France, across five stations spanning marine to freshwater environments, including areas upstream and downstream of a tidal power plant dam. A total of 124 vertebrate MOTUs were detected, with community composition reflecting the estuarine gradient and species turnover ...

Age determination and age related factors in the teeth of Western North Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. [PDF]
, 1980 Teeth were taken from 120 bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, which had stranded on the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States. The number of annual growth layer groups (GLGs) for each animal was used to construct a growth curve. The growth rate of

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.To effectively mitigate disturbances from human activities on vulnerable dolphin populations, it is crucial to understand fine‐scale variation in habitat use. This study investigated the habitat utilisation of a small subpopulation of Hector's dolphins (Cephalorhynchus hectori) in Porpoise Bay, New Zealand.
