Re-identification of the supposed True's beaked whaleMesoplodon mirusfrom Scotland
In the first week of January 1931 a beaked whale (Family Ziphiidae) stranded at Gierinish, South Uist, Outer Hebrides, was identified as a True's beaked whale Mesoplodon mirus. This stranding is referred to frequently in the cetacean literature, either directly or indirectly. Re‐examination of the skull of this specimen reveals...Kitchener, A. C. ; Herman, Jeremy S.

Stomach contents of northern bottlenose whales Hyperoodon ampullatus stranded in the North Sea
This paper presents information on the stomach contents of four northern bottlenose whales Hyperoodon ampullatus (Odontoceti: Ziphiidae) from the north-east Atlantic, an area for which there are few recent data on the feeding ecology of this species. Two of these whales were relatively recent strandings, a female stranded in August...Santos, M.B. ; Pierce, G.J. ; Smeenk, C. ; Addink, M.J. ; Kinze, C.C. …

Taxonomic status and geographical cranial variation of common dolphins (Delphinus) in the eastern North Atlantic
The common dolphin has a widespread distribution and is relatively abundant in the temperate to subtropical waters of the eastern North Atlantic. However, it is not known whether different species, subspecies, or populations occur in this region. We examined 393 common dolphin skulls obtained from both stranded and bycaught individuals...Murphy, Sinead ; Herman, Jeremy S. ; Pierce, Graham J. ; Rogan, Emer ; Kitchener, Andrew C.

Genetic isolation of a now extinct population of bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus )
A number of dolphin species, though highly mobile, show genetic structure among parapatric and sometimes sympatric populations. However, little is known about the temporal patterns of population structure for these species. Here, we apply Bayesian inference and data from ancient DNA to assess the structure and dynamics of bottlenose dolphin...Nichols, Courtney ; Herman, Jeremy S. ; Gaggiotti, Oscar E ; Dobney, Keith M ; Parsons, Kim …
