Evolutionary relationships among cetaceans within the family Delphinidae have been
difficult to resolve due to the high number of species and their relatively rapid radiation. This …

We investigated cause-specific temporal and spatial trends in sea turtle strandings in the
Hawaiian Archipelago. Five species of sea turtle were recorded in 3,861 strandings over a …

Abstract The South China Sea (SCS) is known to support diverse cetacean species, yet their
stranding information has not been well documented. To fill this knowledge gap, available …

The occurrence of seven species of the larval parasitic nematode Anisakis, which can be
used as a biological tag for hake Merluccius merluccius stocks throughout their …

In the present study, data are reported on the use of Anisakis spp. larvae, genetically
identified to species level, for stock identification of Atlantic horse mackerel, Trachurus …

The coastal waters off Western Iberia are an important fishing ground and a marine
megafauna foraging area. Overlap between fishery target species and the diet of several air …

Documenting the extent of fishery gear interactions is critical to wildlife conservation efforts,
especially for reducing entanglements and ingestion. This study summarizes fishery gear …

Galicia (NW Spain) is an important fishing region with a high potential for cetacean–fishery
interactions. Cetacean depredation on catch and damage to fishing gear can potentially …

Skin and muscle from 43 bottlenose dolphins (38 juveniles/adults, 5 calves) stranded in NW
Spain were analysed to determine whether stable isotope ratios (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) could …

We describe the diet of bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in Galician waters, north-
western Spain, based on 82 non-empty stomachs recovered and analysed from stranded …
