Beluga, Delphinapterus leucas, Group Sizes in Cook Inlet, Alaska, Based on Observer Counts and Aerial Video [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Belugas, Delphinapterus leucas, groups were videotaped concurrent to observer counts during annual NMFS aerial surveys of Cook Inlet, Alaska, from 1994 to 2000. The videotapes provided permanent records of whale groups that could be examined and compared

Size and trends of the bowhead whale, beluga and narwhal stocks wintering off West Greenland

open access: yesNAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2002
To assess the size and trends of the abundance of the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus), the beluga, or white whale (Delphinapterus leucas), and the narwhal (Monodon monoceros) visual aerial surveys were conducted in West Greenland in March 1998 and ...

Foraging ecology of ringed seals (Pusa hispida), beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) and narwhals (Monodon monoceros) in the Canadian High Arctic determined by stomach content and stable isotope analysis [PDF]

open access: yesPolar Research, 2015
Stomach content and stable isotope analysis (δ13C and δ15N from liver and muscle) were used to identify habitat and seasonal prey selection by ringed seals (Pusa hispida; n=21), beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas; n=13) and narwhals (Monodon monoceros;

Inundation Duration Shapes Germination of Native and Non‐Native Plant Assemblages From Floodplain Soil Seedbanks

open access: yesEcohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Episodic inundation regulates germination and recruitment from soil seedbanks, which are key processes driving vegetation dynamics in dryland floodplains. In the Murray‐Darling Basin, extensive floodplain modification and flow regulation have altered flow regimes so that anthropogenically controlled environmental watering is often required to ...

Scaled mass index derived from aerial photogrammetry associated with predicted metabolic pathway disruptions in free-ranging St. Lawrence Estuary belugas

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
The St. Lawrence Estuary (SLE) belugas (Quebec, Canada) are an endangered population whose numbers remain low despite ongoing conservation efforts. Multiple anthropogenic factors and changing environmental conditions are thought to have contributed to ...

Underwater Noise from Arctic Shipping: Impacts, Regulations and Recommendations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Marine mammals, including whales, walrus, and seals, rely heavily on sounds for survival. The Arctic soundscape has long been shaped by their clicks and calls.

Dependence Between Effort Offsets and Process Intensity in Generalized Models for Count Data: Spatial Models of Animal Abundance

open access: yesEnvironmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Researchers often use offsets to control for variation in exposure or effort in GLMM‐style models for count data. In this paper, we study the case where effort is dependent on the underlying process of interest (e.g., Poisson intensity) and where inference focuses on prediction. We first examine a simple Poisson GLM, where we use simulation to

Economic value of ecosystem services, minerals and oil in a melting Arctic: a preliminary assessment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Arctic region is composed of unique marine and terrestrial ecosystems that provide a range of services to local and global populations. However, Arctic sea-ice and permafrost is melting at an unprecedented rate, threatening many of these ecosystems ...
