Timing is everything: Drivers of interannual variability in blue whale migration. [PDF]
Blue whales need to time their migration from their breeding grounds to their feeding grounds to avoid missing peak prey abundances, but the cues they use for this are unknown.

Transitions of social-ecological subsistence systems in the Arctic [PDF]
Transitions of social-ecological systems (SES) expose governance systems to new challenges. This is particularly so in the Arctic where resource systems are increasingly subjected to global warming, industrial development and globalization which ...

Abstract The total electron content (TEC) in the ionosphere is strongly affected by solar activity and geomagnetic disturbances in mid‐ and low‐latitude regions, making it a major source of error in GNSS navigation and communication systems. To improve the prediction accuracy of ionospheric TEC, this study proposes a deep learning model—Beluga Whale ...

Abundance of harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in three Alaskan regions, corrected for observer errors due to perception bias and species misidentification, and corrected for animals submerged from view [PDF]
Estimating the abundance of cetaceans from aerial survey data requires careful attention to survey design and analysis. Once an aerial observer perceives a marine mammal or group of marine mammals, he or she has only a few seconds to identify and ...

Chiral thioacetyl derivatives of proline as novel potential agents for beluga reproduction
The aim of the research was to study antioxidant activity and protective potential of new phenol-containing thioacetyl derivatives of D- and L-prolines as potential agents on beluga sperm and survival in the early stages of ontogeny of bester (Huso x ...

Concentrations of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB’s), Chlorinated Pesticides, and Heavy Metals and Other Elements in Tissues of Belugas, Delphinapterus leucas, from Cook Inlet [PDF]
Tissues from Cook Inlet beluga whales, Delphinapterus leucas, that were collected as part of the Alaska Marine Mammal Tissue Archival Project were analyzed for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s), chlorinated pesticides, and heavy metals and other elements.

ABSTRACT Genetic reference databases underpin a wide range of molecular approaches used to study cetacean biodiversity, including environmental DNA (eDNA), yet their reliability depends critically on data completeness, taxonomic accuracy, and metadata quality.
