Marine and Freshwater Mammals

BioOne Vista | March 2025

 
Free To Read Through April 14, 2025*

Aquatic and semi-aquatic mammals embody nature's extraordinary capacity for adaptation, revealing complex survival strategies that enable life in marine and freshwater environments. Research into their biology and ecosystem interactions provides critical insights for conservation efforts, helping scientists develop targeted strategies to protect these vulnerable species and the intricate aquatic habitats that sustain global biodiversity.
