Estimating Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) Age Using Epigenetic Analysis of Skin
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Age is an important parameter to understand species life‐history characteristics. Recently, DNA methylation methods have emerged as innovative tools to estimate the age of marine mammals. Narwhal (Monodon monoceros) epigenetic age estimates were computed using beluga (Delphinapterus leucas), killer whale (Orcinus orca), bowhead (Balaena ...

Scouting with drones to increase efficiency of locating wild pigs for removal
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 4, December 2025.Our goal was to determine if locating wild pigs with thermal cameras mounted on unmanned aerial vehicle technology, drones, just prior to ground and aerial shooting efforts could increase removal rates of invasive wild pigs. Results suggest that scouting with drones can increase removal rates under a variety of conditions. Abstract Effective management
