Harbor Porpoise and Beluga Whale Habitat Use in the Saguenay‐St. Lawrence Marine Park (Canada) Revealed by a Combination of Visual and Acoustic Survey

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Studying habitat use of cetaceans that spend most of their lives underwater poses challenges, prompting the use of complementary methods. Non‐invasive methods, land‐based surveys (LBS) and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), were used to characterize occurrence patterns of beluga whales, harbor porpoises, and vessels in the Saguenay–St ...

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 853-863, April 2026.
Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.
