Historical data on age, growth and reproduction of pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales stranded along the Southern African coastline, with additional information from Australian specimens

Simon K. Davy is Professor of Marine Biology at the School of Biological Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand. 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.
