Innovative DNA assembly process produces high-quality reference genomes for endangered dolphins
Creating genomes from DNA is hugely important for managing threatened species—understanding their past and how they have adapted to their environment helps conservationists protect them.

Something is happening with the southern right whale population, scientists say
The southern right whale species had the unfortunate habit of going close to shore, making them easy pickings for whalers. After the practice was banned, their population bounced back — but researcher...

Animal culture recognized as key factor in new conservation strategies
Exeter scientists are among those who have discovered many animals learn and pass on behaviors through social learning or culture, which could have important implications for conservation.

There's a reason whale song strikes a chord with humans
Most of us are familiar with whale song, but new research suggests that the structure of the song - the individual parts that make up the whole - has similarities to human language.
