molecular genetic identification of southern hemisphere beaked whales (cetacea: ziphiidae).	to assist in the species-level identification of stranded and hunted beaked whales, we compiled a database of 'reference' sequences from the mitochondrial dna control region for 15 of the 20 described ziphiid species. reference samples for eight species were obtained from stranded animals in new zealand and south australia. sequences for a further seven species were obtained from a previously published report. this database was used to identify 20 'test' samples obtained from incompletely docume ...	1998	9640649
cestodes from hector's beaked whale ( mesoplodon hectori ) and spectacled porpoise ( phocoena dioptrica ) from argentinean waters.	single individuals of 2 little-known cetacean species, mesoplodon hectori and phocoena dioptrica , stranded and died on the coast of argentina (buenos aires and chubut provinces, respectively) and were studied for the presence of helminths. the cestodes found were described and illustrated using light microscopy. the following cestode taxa were recovered: tetrabothrius ( tetrabothrius ) hobergi n. sp. (several fragmented specimens, at least 1 gravid) and tetrabothrius ( s.l. ) sp. 1 (several fra ...	2010	20486735
