Distribution and abundance of Canadian High Arctic belugas, 1974-1979
NAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2002 We conducted >236,000 km of aerial surveys and some supplementary studies of belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) in the central and eastern Canadian High Arctic in 974-79.

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

Polar Research, 2021 Given the remote, rugged areas belugas typically inhabit and the low rehabilitation success rate with any cetacean, it is rare to have the opportunity to rescue a live-stranded beluga.

Measuring Hearing in Wild Beluga Whales [PDF]
, 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.

Take my breath away: Defining the oxygen saturation threshold for fish cortisol stress response
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Human activities are affecting the number, size and severity of hypoxic zones in aquatic ecosystems. As oxygen is one of the most important abiotic factors affecting fish biology, exposure to low levels of dissolved oxygen may lead to a reduction in fitness.

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.Long‐term chronologies constructed from individual bowhead baleen plates reveal stable isotope declines consistent with regional Arctic food web or productivity changes superimposed on global anthropogenic C and N inputs, while relatively stable hormone concentrations over the same period provide no evidence of a concomitant increase in physiological ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Sturgeons are an important species due to their complex genetic structure and evolutionary characteristics. Unfortunately, they are threatened with extinction due to illegal and overfishing, as well as the loss of their natural habitats. In our work, we examine the genetic diversity of four sturgeon species that inhabit the Black Sea basin and its ...

Revisiting the status of the Arctic's Last Ice Area as a refuge for marine predators
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The Last Ice Area (LIA), located north of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Greenland, has the Arctic's oldest and thickest sea ice. The LIA is hypothesized to be a potential climate refuge for ice‐dependent top predators as Arctic sea ice continues to decline.

Arctic ScienceToxoplasma 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.
