The Taraba Sound is situated north of the Strait of Magellan within the Chilean fjord and channel system. In this inlet, samples were collected at three beach levels (supralittoral, mesolittoral and infralittoral) along four transects perpendicular to the coastline. A total of 2,754 specimens were collected and identified, representing seven phyla and 24 operational taxonomic units (OTUs).

- Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in biological processes in both animals and plants, but there’s limited knowledge about their functions in sharks.
- The study identified and characterized 21,932 high-confidence lncRNAs in the blue shark from various tissues (liver, spleen, muscle, and kidney) using advanced sequencing and bioinformatics methods.
- It found significant numbers of stably and tissue-specific lncRNAs, unveiling various differentially expressed lncRNAs across tissues, which are linked to essential biological functions like muscle responses and immune reactions.
The Humboldt Current Ecosystem (HCE) is one of the most productive marine ecosystems, sustaining one of the largest fishing industries in the world. Although several species of cetaceans are known to inhabit these productive waters, quantitative assessments of their abundance and distribution patterns are scarce and patchy. Here, we present the first abundance and distribution estimates for fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), southeast Pacific blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus), sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus), dusky dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obscurus), and common dolphin (Delphinus spp.
