Genetic and Ecological Divergence Between Northwest Atlantic Killer Whale Populations
Killer whale (Orcinus orca) populations exhibit substantial genetic, ecological, and morphological differences across their global distribution. In this study, we use whole‐genome resequencing and compound‐specific stable isotope analysis of amino acids to show concurrent genetic and ecological differentiation in two relatively understudied killer ...

Element concentrations in tissues reveal spatial structure of Atlantic walrus management stocks
Differences in tissue element concentrations confirm geographic differentiation between 2 of Canada's walrus management stocks but reveal additional spatial structure within the largest stock that may have management implications. Abstract Ensuring harvested animal populations are managed at appropriate scales requires an understanding of underlying ...

Historic and Current Use of Lower Cook Inlet, Alaska, by Belugas, Delphinapterus leucas [PDF]
Dedicated at-sea surveys for marine birds and mammals conducted in lower Cook Inlet in late July and early August from 1995–99 failed to locate any belugas, Delphinapterus leucas.

Measuring Hearing in Wild Beluga Whales [PDF]
We measured the hearing abilities of seven wild beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) during a collection-and-release experiment in Bristol Bay, AK. Here we summarize the methods and initial data from one animal and discuss the implications of this experiment. Audiograms were collected from 4 to 150 kHz.
