Cetacean articles in recent issues of Zoological studies

Zoological Studies attracted a
number of contributions from cetacean researchers worldwide in the past
few years. Since 2014, we have published 7 articles concerning the
physiology, distribution, reproduction, taxonomy and ecology of
cetaceans including the Chinese White Dolphin, Finless Porpoise and
Long-finned Pilot Whales. These articles are listed below, starting
with the most recent:
