River-influenced beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) summer habitat use in western Hudson Bay, Canada

Arctic Science, 2023
River estuaries along western Hudson Bay, Canada, are important summer habitats for beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucus (Pallas, 1776)) and subject to increasing industrial development activities including vessel traffic. The feasibility of establishing

Perceptually Motivated Wavelet Packet Transform for Bioacoustic Signal Enhancement [PDF]

, 2008
A significant and often unavoidable problem in bioacoustic signal processing is the presence of background noise due to an adverse recording environment. This paper proposes a new bioacoustic signal enhancement technique which can be used on a wide range

Use of satellite imagery to estimate distribution and abundance of Cumberland Sound beluga whales reveals frequent use of a glacial river estuary

Frontiers in Marine Science
Limiting disturbance in critical habitats is an important part of ensuring the well-being and sustainability of populations at risk, such as Cumberland Sound beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas). Using non-disruptive Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite

Thermal reference points as an index for monitoring body temperature in marine mammals [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND Monitoring body temperature is essential in veterinary care as minor variations may indicate dysfunction. Rectal temperature is widely used as a proxy for body temperature, but measuring it requires special equipment, training or ...

Talking About the Weather: The Feasibility of Using Very High‐Resolution Optical Satellite Imagery to Monitor Live and Stranded Cetaceans Around the UK and UK Overseas Territories

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Monitoring live and stranded cetaceans can be expensive and logistically challenging, resulting in knowledge gaps. Very high‐resolution (VHR) optical satellites are considered a potential solution to addressing some of these gaps. Despite success at detecting live and stranded cetaceans, satellites have only been trialed on restricted ...

Development of Beluga, Delphinapterus leucas, Capture and Satellite Tagging Protocol in Cook Inlet, Alaska [PDF]

, 2000
Attempts to capture and place satellite tags on belugas, Delphinapterus leucas, in Cook Inlet, Alaska were conducted during late spring and summer of 1995, 1997, and 1999. In 1995, capture attempts using a hoop net proved impractical in Cook Inlet.

Phylogeny and adaptive evolution of the brain-development gene microcephalin (MCPH1) in cetaceans. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Representatives of Cetacea have the greatest absolute brain size among animals, and the largest relative brain size aside from humans. Despite this, genes implicated in the evolution of large brain size in primates have yet to be surveyed in ...

Mercury-induced micronuclei in skin fibroblasts of beluga whales [PDF]

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1998
AbstractBeluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) inhabiting the St. Lawrence estuary are highly contaminated with environmental pollutants and have a high incidence of cancer. Environmental contaminants may be partly responsible for the high incidence of cancer observed in this population.
