A High‐Accuracy TEC Model for Low‐Mid Latitudes Using a BWO‐Optimized CNN‐xLSTM Hybrid Model With Multi‐Instrument Data Fusion

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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 ...

No Groundwater, No Fish: The Critical Role of Groundwater in Supporting Non‐Glacial, Salmon‐Bearing Rivers in South‐Central Alaska

open access: yesJAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundwater discharge plays an important role in the hydrologic and ecologic functioning of rivers including sustaining streamflow and related habitat year‐round. Simultaneously, groundwater supports the increasing demands of people as the global population continues to grow.

Chiral thioacetyl derivatives of proline as novel potential agents for beluga reproduction

open access: yesAquaculture and Fisheries
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]

open access: yes, 2000
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.

Navigating Cetacean Mitochondrial Genome Data: Identifying Coverage and Deficiencies in Public Repositories

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
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.
