Abstract: Killer whales (KW) may be predators or competitors of other cetaceans. Since their foraging behavior and acoustics differ among populations (‘ecotypes’), we hypothesized that other cetaceans can eavesdrop on KW sounds and adjust their behavior… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jcpa.2021.01.004
Abstract: Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) is an important global cause of morbidity and mortality in cetacean populations, with four pathological presentations including non-suppurative encephalitis. We describe an unusual case of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV)-associated non-suppurative encephalitis in a… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biology11101414
Abstract: Simple Summary Isotopic niche analyses can elucidate a species’ foraging ecology. Using isotopic values of δ13C, δ15N and δ34S, the isotopic niche of long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas edwardii) in Aotearoa New Zealand was investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.12157
Abstract: Freshwater eels are ecologically, and culturally important worldwide. The New Zealand long-finned eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) and short-finned eel (Anguilla australis) are apex predators, playing an important role in ecosystem functioning of rivers and lakes. Recently,… read more here.
