Seasonal and Diurnal Patterns of Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) Behavior and the Disruptive Effects of Vessel Presence in a High‐Traffic Coastal Habitat

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic anthropogenic activity is an ongoing threat to the marine environment and presents unique challenges in shallow, coastal habitats where harbor porpoises reside. Harbor porpoises have high metabolic needs and are highly susceptible to negative environmental factors; however, no long‐term studies have been conducted on wild populations ...

Geographical and Seasonal Distribution of Australian Pygmy Right Whales (Caperea marginata) Based on Passive Acoustics

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The pygmy right whale (Caperea marginata) is one of the least studied mysticete species. To shed light on its geographic and seasonal distribution, we compiled archival acoustic recordings from 26 sites across southern Australia and developed a deep‐learning detector for pygmy right whale “doublet” vocalizations.

Using ANIMAL‐SPOT Deep Learning Framework to Identify Call Types in Killer Whales

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Killer whales use complex vocalizations to maintain social structure and coordinate behavior, yet automated classification of call types remains challenging due to overlapping calls and structural similarity among call types. I evaluated the performance of the deep learning framework ANIMAL‐SPOT for identifying killer whale call types from raw

Characterizing the Distribution and Behavior of Sperm Whales, Physeter macrocephalus, Over the Otago Submarine Canyons, New Zealand

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) play an important role in marine ecosystems as top predators, nutrient vectors, and indicators of ecosystem health. In Aotearoa New Zealand, sperm whales remain largely understudied other than at Kaikōura, a foraging area for males.

Ocean Bottom Seismometers Provide Direct Measurements of Pulsed‐Structure and Turbulence of Turbidity Currents Overspilling From a Submarine Channel

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Turbidity currents transport vast amounts of sediment, carbon, and heat along submarine channels, yet their overspill onto channel‐levees and abyssal mixing remain poorly constrained due to lack of direct observations. Ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBS) deployed on the Congo Canyon–Channel levees captured the structure and turbulence of overspill
