Year-Round Acoustic Presence of Beaked Whales (Ziphiidae) Far Offshore off Australia’s Northwest Shelf

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Beaked whales are a cryptic pelagic species, rarely sighted at sea. In a ~2.5-year passive acoustic monitoring program on Australia’s Northwest Shelf, a variety of marine mammal sounds were detected, including beaked whale (Ziphiidae) clicks.

Determinants of Ascaridoid Nematode Infection and Anisakis-Related Zoonotic Exposure Risk in Eastern Mediterranean Gadiformes Fishes. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Larvae of ascaridoid nematodes, particularly Anisakis spp., are common parasites of commercially important marine fishes and may represent a zoonotic hazard following ingestion of raw or undercooked seafood. We investigated the ascaridoid fauna of the sympatric European hake (Merluccius merluccius) and greater forkbeard (Phycis blennoides) from the ...

Ocean-wide genomic variation in Gray's beaked whales, Mesoplodon grayi [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
The deep oceans of the Southern Hemisphere are home to several elusive and poorly studied marine megafauna. In the absence of robust observational data for these species, genetic data can aid inferences on population connectivity, demography and ecology.

A new diminutive fossil ziphiid from the deep-sea floor off northern Chile and some remarks on the body size evolution and palaeobiogeography of the beaked whales [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023
The evolutionary history of the beaked whales (Ziphiidae), odontocetes nowadays adapted to deep diving, is well known thanks to a significant fossil record mainly from the deep ocean floors.

Genetic identity of three species of beaked whale (family Ziphiidae) off the Brazilian coast

Academia Biology
Introduction: Studies on beaked whales in the South Atlantic are scarce, and there are still significant gaps in knowledge about these species in this region. In Brazil, ten species have been reported over the years.

New beaked whales from the late Miocene of Peru and evidence for convergent evolution in stem and crown Ziphiidae (Cetacea, Odontoceti) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
The Ziphiidae (beaked whales) represent a large group of open-ocean odontocetes (toothed cetaceans), whose elusive and deep diving behavior prevents direct observation in their natural habitat.

A new beaked whale record from the upper Miocene of Menorca, Balearic Islands, based on CT-scan analysis of limestone slabs [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019
The finding of significant vertebrate remains inside commercial stone blocks is relatively rare. Here we describe a fossil cetacean skull discovered inside two slabs cut from a limestone block of Tortonian (i.e., early late Miocene) age from Menorca ...

Riqueza específica y patrones de distribución de los mamíferos marinos del Pacífico Oriental

Acta Zoológica Lilloana, 2023
Los mamíferos marinos son un grupo polifilético con patrones de diversidad y biogeográficos bien documentados a nivel mundial, sin embargo, se desconoce la diversidad actual en el Pacífico oriental (PO), así como sus patrones latitudinales de ...

A Comprehensive and Validated Molecular Taxonomy of Beaked Whales, Family Ziphiidae [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2004
DNA sequences from orthologous loci can provide universal characters for taxonomic identification. Molecular taxonomy is of particular value for groups in which distinctive morphological features are difficult to observe or compare. To assist in species identification for the little known family Ziphiidae (beaked whales), we compiled a reference ...

Analyzing 13 Years of Cetacean Strandings: Multiple Stressors to Cetaceans in Taiwanese Waters and Their Implications for Conservation and Future Research

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
This study summarizes the postmortem investigations of 73 cetaceans stranded on the coast of Taiwan between 2001 and 2013, including 51 Delphinidae, 17 Kogiidae, 3 Ziphiidae, 1 Physeteridae, and 1 Balaenopteridae.
