μCeta: A Set of Cetacean‐Specific Primers for Environmental DNA Metabarcoding With Minimal Amplification of Non‐Target Vertebrates

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
Cetacean eDNA metabarcoding results from the aquarium pool samples using new cetacean‐specific primers. μCeta shows superior performance to detect and differentiate different cetacean species. ABSTRACT Biodiversity monitoring is crucial for understanding ecosystem dynamics and species distributions, particularly in the context of anthropogenic impacts ...

Beaked whale ( Ziphiidae ) foraging along Australia's Northwest Shelf

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Beaked whales are elusive deep-diving odontocetes, and their distribution and foraging ecology remain poorly documented in Australian waters. This study presents a passive acoustic monitoring (PAM)-based assessment of beaked whale foraging activity along Australia's Northwest Shelf—a continental shelf region with features typically conducive to beaked ...

Environmental and Evolutionary Forces Shaping Penguin Geographic Limits

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Penguins are seabirds exclusively found in the Southern Hemisphere, with their existence dating back to the late Cretaceous. Despite their exceptional dispersal capabilities, which allow them to inhabit a wide range of environments—from polar regions to temperate zones, and even near the Equator—penguins are absent in the Northern ...

Long‐Term Depth Records of Satellite‐Tagged Northern Bottlenose Whales Reveal Extraordinary Dive Capabilities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
This study used records from 13 satellite tags deployed off Jan Mayen to provide an extensive description of the dive behavior of northern bottlenose whales in the Nordic Seas. Our findings demonstrate that this species has extraordinary capabilities to dive, and presumably feed, throughout the water column including at the sea floor.

Biomarkers reveal dietary flexibility in northern bottlenose whales, Hyperoodon ampullatus, with implications for fisheries and resource management

Global Ecology and Conservation
Beaked whales, including northern bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus), are widely considered deep-diving squid specialists. In Canada, where northern bottlenose whales are of conservation concern following historical depletion, resolving diet ...

Genomic infrastructure for cetacean research and conservation: reference genomes for eight families spanning the cetacean tree of life

Frontiers in Marine Science
Reference genomes from representative species across families provide the critical infrastructure for research and conservation. The Cetacean Genomes Project (CGP) began in early 2020 to facilitate the generation of near error-free, chromosome-resolved ...

Distribution and abundance of beaked whales (Family Ziphiidae) Off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, U.S.A.

Marine Mammal Science, 2018
AbstractBeaked whales are vulnerable to the impacts of disturbance from several sources of anthropogenic sound. Here we report the distribution and abundance of beaked whales off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, U.S.A., an area utilized by the U.S. Navy for training exercises, and of particular interest for seismic geophysical surveys.

Cetáceos del Pací­fico de Guatemala: Cincuenta años de historia
Guatemala's Pacific Cetaceans: Fifty Years of History

Ciencia, Tecnología y Salud, 2014
En Guatemala el estudio de los cetáceos inició en la década de los sesenta con los primeros registros de varamiento y captura incidental. Sin embargo, pocos trabajos cientí­ficos con datos de cetáceos han sido publicados.
