Special Volume on Kogia Biology, Part Two, Volume 99 presents reviews on all aspects of marine biology. Published since 1963, this serial updates on marine biology, fisheries science, ecology, zoology and biological oceanography. Topics include Stranding data of Kogia spp. from the seas around Japan, The biology of pygmy sperm whales (Kogia breviceps) from New Zealand waters, Age, growth and reproduction of pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (K. sima) sperm whales stranded in South Africa, The fast lane revisited: life history strategy of Kogia spp, and Stomach content analysis of pygmy and dwarf sperm whales and its ecological implications: is there niche partitioning?

My research interests focus on the general ecology of cetaceans (whales and dolphins), including their natural history, trophic ecology, anatomy, population genetics, strandings and health. For this I use a diverse array of research methods and also collaborate widely with colleagues in related research areas to gain a more holistic picture of variations in the populations found in our local Eastern Cape waters in South Africa.
