Beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) Novel Bubble Helix Play Behavior [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Behavior and Cognition, 2014
Cetaceans demonstrate considerable ingenuity in their play with bubbles. Both wild and captive cetaceans have been reported to manipulate self-produced bubbles (Delfour & Aulagnier, 1997; Gewalt, 1989; Kuczaj, Makecha, Trone, Paulos, & Ramos, 2006 ...

KILLJOY POETICS IN ANTJE RÁVIK STRUBEL'S BLAUE FRAU (2021)

open access: yesGerman Life and Letters, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 217-242, April 2026.
Abstract Drawing on Sara Ahmed's concept of killjoy activism, I explore how Antje Rávik Strubel's Blaue Frau employs a killjoy poetics that refuses to brush over violence, asymmetry, injury and force. Instead, the novel intervenes in affective textures of happiness and reconciliation, and forms activist and ecological networks of resistance. I build on

Correcting Lipid Extraction Effects on Nitrogen Isotopic Values (δ15N) in Cetacean Skin

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Stable isotopes of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) are widely used to study the feeding ecology of cetaceans, as they provide critical insights into diet and migratory behaviors. Lipids in tissues may bias the interpretation of δ13C. Because of this, lipids need to be extracted before measuring stable isotope ratios, but their removal may ...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Mitigate Drought‐Enhanced Herbivore Performance in Maize

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 2080-2094, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought events are becoming increasingly frequent and intense, posing major challenges to crop productivity. Beyond direct water stress, drought can indirectly affect plants by enhancing herbivore performance. While arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been proposed to alleviate drought stress and to enhance plant resistance to herbivory ...

Toxoplasma gondii and related parasites in beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) harvested as country foods by Inuit hunters in Nunavut, Canada

open access: yesArctic Science
Toxoplasma gondii is a very common zoonotic parasite in humans and animals worldwide. Human seroprevalence is particularly high in some regions of Canada’s North and is thought to be associated with the consumption of traditionally prepared country foods.

Measuring Hearing in Wild Beluga Whales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
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.

From Participation to Management: Coconstructing Sustainable Practices in the Saint Lawrence Beluga Habitat

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Saint Lawrence Beluga population (Delphinapterus leucas), classified as an endangered species since 2014, continues to decline despite various recovery efforts. A growing concern is the impact of recreational boating on this population. Although the stress caused by boat noise and presence is well documented, the regulation and management ...
