First direct measurements of behavioural responses by Cuvier's beaked whales to mid-frequency active sonar [PDF]

, 2013
Most marine mammal­ strandings coincident with naval sonar exercises have involved Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris). We recorded animal movement and acoustic data on two tagged Ziphius and obtained the first direct measurements of behavioural

Metagenomic Insights Into the Role of Gut Microbes in the Defensive Ink “Tsunabi” of Physeteroid Whales

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Whales of the superfamily Physeteroidea exhibit a unique visual defense mechanism involving the release of dark reddish‐brown feces (locally called “tsunabi‐ink” in Japan) into the water. This study proposes that tsunabi‐ink is a metabolic byproduct of shifts in the gut microbial community, influenced by the host's digestive physiology and foraging ...

Prioritizing future evidence needs for marine and freshwater mammal conservation action

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 542-552, August 2025.
To improve conservation practice, decisions should be informed by the available evidence on the effectiveness of conservation actions. Here, we review the comprehensiveness of this evidence base for marine and freshwater mammals. We assess the taxonomic and geographic coverage of the evidence base, identify biases and suggest priorities for future ...

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 ...

Distributive and Phagocytic Characteristics of Hepatic Macrophages in Five Cetaceans belonging to Delphinidae and Ziphiidae

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2004
Details of morphology and distribution of hepatic macrophages in cetaceans were investigated using the immunohistochemistry with an antibody (SRA-E5) generated against human macrophage scavenger receptor antigen. Liver samples were obtained from five species of cetaceans (Baird's beaked whales, short-finned pilot whales, Risso's dolphins, bottlenose ...
