We present genetic and morphological evidence supporting the recognition of a
previously synonymized species of Mesoplodon beaked whale in the tropical Indo-Pacific,
Mesoplodon hotaula. Although the new species is closely-related to the rare
ginkgo-toothed beaked whale M. ginkgodens, we show that these two lineages can be
differentiated by maternally (mitochondrial...

We investigated the species identity and local use of cetaceans on the Gilbert
Islands, Republic of Kiribati. Working with the Kiribati Ministry of Environment,
Lands and Agricultural Development and Fisheries Division, we visited
the islands of Tarawa, Tabiteuea (North), Butaritari and Onotoa from June to
July 2009, and collected 24...
