We review the molecular and epidemiological characteristics of cetacean morbillivirus
(CeMV) and the diagnosis and pathogenesis of associated disease, with six different strains …

Preservation of endangered species is now recognized as a relevant component of regional
and global conservation actions achieved through the maintenance of the remaining …

Migratory marine species (MMS) include many of the world's most charismatic organisms
such as marine mammals, seabirds, turtles, sharks, and tuna. Many are now among the most …

Dolphins and porpoises in coastal and/or riverine habitats face serious conservation threats,
yet surveys of their abundance are often especially difficult due to the challenges imposed …

Heterogeneous data collection in the marine environment has led to large gaps in our
knowledge of marine species distributions. To fill these gaps, models calibrated on existing …

Generalized linear and generalized additive habitat models were used to predict cetacean
densities for 10 species in an 818000 km 2 area off California. The performance of models …

This study provides the first estimates of density and abundance of the striped dolphin
Stenella coeruleoalba and common bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus in the Gulf of …

Pollution by marine litter is raising major concerns due to its potential impact on marine
biodiversity and, above all, on endangered mega-fauna species, such as cetaceans and sea …

Aim Conservation plans often struggle to account for connectivity in spatial prioritization
approaches for the protection of migratory species. Protection of such species is challenging …

Abundance, density, daily variation in group size, activity and habitat use of the striped
dolphin in the Gulf of Taranto (northern Ionian Sea, central Mediterranean Sea) were …
