2023, Marine Pollution BulletinUnderstanding the causes of mortality and contaminant loads of stranded cetacean species in Sardinian waters (Italy) using Bayesian Hierarchical Models
2022, Journal of Sea ResearchCitation Excerpt :These differences could be due to the fact that organochlorine loads in cetaceans tend to increase with age during the juvenile stage, both in males and females, given that the uptake of contaminants usually exceeds metabolization and excretion. However, in adult males, this trend continues and their contaminant levels increase with age, whereas in sexually mature females, concentrations often decrease (Aguilar and Borrell, 1988) because they transfer appreciable quantities of these pollutants to their offspring during pregnancy and, to a larger extent, during lactation (Borrell, 1993; Aguilar et al., 1999). Categorizing the causes of death is a valuable tool to monitor the mortality trends of cetacean species.

2019, Marine Pollution BulletinPOPs in free-ranging pilot whales, sperm whales and fin whales from the Mediterranean Sea: Influence of biological and ecological factors
2015, Environmental ResearchCitation Excerpt :This could be a consequence of the seasonal migrations of sperm whales, especially young males, in the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, where higher concentrations of DDTs are still discharged in the marine environment (Mendes et al., 2007; Ryan et al., 2013b; Marsili et al., 2014). The importance of species distribution influence in species contamination patterns can be additionally confirmed by differences in pollutants ratios (Aguilar and Borrell, 1988; Ross et al., 2000). In our case, The only ratio to express variation among the species was the ΣDDE/ΣDDT, which displayed the highest values in long-finned pilot whales.
