Spatially explicit models of density improve estimates of Eastern Bering Sea beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) abundance and distribution from line-transect surveys [PDF]
We investigate spatially explicit models and ensemble modeling techniques for estimating animal abundance from line-transect survey data. Spatially explicit models are expected to be statistically more efficient, resulting in more precise abundance ...

Visibility of St Lawrence belugas to aerial photography, estimated by direct observation
The depleted population of belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) inhabiting the St Lawrence estuary, Canada, was monitored by periodic photographic aerial surveys. In order to correct counts made on aerial survey film and to obtain an estimate of the true size

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.

This study established the first fecal hormonal reference values (P4/E2) for the Greater Caribbean manatee. Using non‐invasive ELISA, the authors found no significant differences between mature and immature females, highlighting that long‐term monitoring and ultrasounds are essential to fully understand their complex reproductive cycles.
