Cetaceans sighting positions from 2009 to 2021 (animal conservation)
<p>Sighting position of the Striped dolphin (<em>Stenella coeruleoalba</em>), Common bottlenose dolphin (<em>Tursiops truncatus</em>) and Fin whale (<em>Balaenoptera physalus</em>) in the 2009 - 2021 period collected buy aerial line transect distance sampling. These data coupled with other from public database are linked with the Copernicus in order to fit ensemble SDMs 16 and predict their current and future potential distribution at the Mediterranean subregional scale.</p> <p> </p>

Estimating effective detection area of static passive acoustic data loggers from playback experiments with cetacean vocalisations
<p>This link provides the data from the playback experiment to determine effective detection areas for porpoises recorded by C-POD acoustic dataloggers. The firstdata set includes the artifically created porpoises click trains captured by the C-PODs and the second is the record of the rate of re-capture for the real, recorded porpoise clicks used in the experiment. </p>

Data for: Phylogenetically controlled life history trait meta-analysis in cetaceans reveals unexpected negative brain size and longevity correlation
<p>The identification of patterns in trait evolution is essential to understand the interaction of evolutionary forces, and provides useful information for species management. Cetaceans are a phylogenetically well-resolved infraorder that exhibit distinct trait variation across behavioural, molecular and life history dimensions, yet few researchers have applied a meta-analytic or comparative approach to these traits. To understand cetacean trait evolution, we used a phylogenetic generalised least squares approach to examine the cognitive buffer hypothesis (CBH). A large brain should buffer individuals against environmental challenges through increasing survival rates, and a longer lifespan should buffer individuals against the cost of extended development for larger brains according to the CBH, leading to an expected positive correlation between brain size and lifespan. In contrast to this expectation, previously observed in taxa including primates, we found a negative correlation between brain size and lifespan in cetaceans. This suggests cetaceans experience selective pressures different from most other mammals in these traits but may be more similar to some social mammalian carnivores that display alloparenting. We also provide a comprehensive dataset to explore additional aspects of trait evolution but which would greatly benefit from studies on behavioural ecology across cetaceans and increased focus on data-deficient species. </p>

Native American use of cetaceans in pre-contact Oregon: Biomolecular and taphonomic analyses illuminate human-cetacean relationships: MALDI-TOF data
<p><span>This study characterizes how Native Americans living on the Oregon coast used whales and small cetaceans prior to European contact. We present an original analysis of a large subsample of archaeological cetacean remains from the Palmrose (35CLT47) site and new identifications from the previously analyzed Par-Tee (35CLT20) and Tahkenitch Landing (35DO130) sites. Using zooarchaeological and biomolecular analyses we report species presence and modification patterns to characterize use. Grays (<em>Eschrichtius</em> <em>robustus</em>) and humpbacks (<em>Megaptera</em> <em>novaeangliae</em>) were the most commonly identified whale species and a preferred source of food, oil, bone for tool manufacture, and possibly ligaments for sinew. Dolphins and porpoises, especially harbor porpoise (<em>Phocoena</em> <em>phocoena</em>), were a source of food and possibly bone for tool manufacture. While opportunistic hunting may have occurred, the presence of species such as blue (<em>Balaenoptera</em> <em>musculus</em>) and Cuvier's beaked (<em>Ziphius</em> <em>cavirostris</em>) whales suggest collection of beached animals was an important acquisition strategy. Our study demonstrates the value of biomolecular analyses for improved species identifications/understanding of species richness, and the value of zooarchaeological analysis to fully understand dietary and cultural contributions of cetaceans to precontact lifeways on the Oregon coast.</span></p>
Fossilized cetacean ear bone in rock
This fossilized cetacean tympanic bulla ear bone is from a beach in New Zealand thought to be mid-Miocene in age. The 5 dots on the stone are 20mm long. Here is a video of it being found: https://youtu.be/XJ_6aRMosdE?t=137 Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
