This study investigates the association between epigenetic age acceleration and contaminant exposure in common dolphins, finding that metals and specific PFAS compounds significantly influence EAA.

This paper develops radiographic bone ageing models for common dolphins, showing higher accuracy than epigenetic methods for age estimation.

This study provides anatomical descriptions of the hourglass dolphin and spectacled porpoise using imaging and histology, revealing morphological features and supporting hypotheses about their diving behavior and thermoregulation.

The paper develops the first species-specific epigenetic clock for common dolphins using DNA methylation data from stranded and bycaught individuals, showing consistent underestimation in older dolphins.
