Ecological IndicatorsAmong cetaceans, the Cuvier’s beaked whale is considered an extreme diver, thus not one of the easiest cetacean species to be studied due to its elusive behaviour and a preference for deep offshore waters.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Cetaceans are indicators of ocean health, influence marine ecosystem dynamics and hold socio‐economic importance for coastal whaling communities. Yet whale–whaler relationships remain poorly understood and are increasingly compromised under the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. Here, we briefly outline

Behavioral responses of goose‐beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) to simulated military sonar
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract We report direct measurements of changes in diving and movement behavior for 53 goose‐beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) in relation to experimentally controlled mid‐frequency (3–4 kHz) active sonar (MFAS) signals. These signals simulate powerful Navy sources that have been associated with multiple mortal stranding events for this species. We

Odontocetes of the Southern Ocean sanctuary [PDF]
, 2010 Twenty-eight odontocete species were identified as occupying sub-Antarctic and Antarctic habitat covered by the 1994 IWC established Southern Ocean Sanctuary. Toothed whales evidently play an important part in the Antarctic polar ecosystem.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT In 2024, an expedition was conducted off northwestern Baja California, México, to find and identify the beaked whale species that produced the BW43 echolocation pulse previously recorded in this area and elsewhere in the North Pacific. There were five Mesoplodon sightings and 21 BW43 acoustic detections on both a towed array and drifting pole ...
