DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72004

Abstract: ABSTRACT Understanding of the spatio‐temporal occurrence of cetaceans post the whaling era is essential for protecting and improving management strategies of these marine mammals. To determine the monthly and diel acoustic occurrence of four baleen… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jmor.20674

Abstract: The pygmy right whale, Caperea marginata, is the least understood extant baleen whale (Cetacea, Mysticeti). Knowledge on its basic anatomy, ecology, and fossil record is limited, even though its singular position outside both balaenids (right… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rsma.2018.03.008

Abstract: Abstract An aggregation of sexually immature whale sharks occurs at a coastal submerged reef near the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast each spring. We tested the hypothesis that these megaplanktivores become attracted to a prey… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-59486-8

Abstract: Reconstructing how prehistoric humans used the products obtained from large cetaceans is challenging, but key to understand the history of early human coastal adaptations. Here we report the multiproxy analysis (ZooMS, radiocarbon, stable isotopes) of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-97638-4

Abstract: Fin whales, the second largest animal on Earth, produce one of the most intense vocalisations in the animal kingdom. Monitoring these songs using ocean-deployed hydrophones plays an important role in the study of fin whale… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-025-08349-5

Abstract: Audiograms are available for multiple species of odontocetes (toothed whales). However, there are no empirically measured audiograms for any mysticete (baleen whale) meaning their hearing sensitivity is inferred. Here, we present a masked hearing curve… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jzo.70053

Abstract: Odontocetes are key predators in marine food webs, but knowledge of their habitat use and trophic niche still needs to be improved. In this study, we used carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotopes to… read more here.
