Fisheries can strongly alter marine ecosystem dynamics, influencing the ecology and behaviour of top predators such as cetaceans. At the Tiber River estuary (Tyrrhenian Sea, Western Mediterranean), bo...
Murcia coastline sustains high marine biodiversity but has suffered severe impacts from toxic heavy-metal discharges. We report mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) levels, and the Se:Hg molar ratio, in liv...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a non-invasive approach for monitoring cetaceans, yet its widespread application from operational platforms requires standardized and feasible sampling workflows. This ...
The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis) and the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activity, however the relative influen...
Marine mammals are ecological sentinels of ocean health. As apex predators, they can bioaccumulate contaminants through aquatic food webs. In this context, this systematic review evaluates the role of...
