A predictable winter aggregation of dwarf minke whales occurs annually in the Great Barrier Reef, where interannual site fidelity has been documented in adults but not previously in calves. Comparison of all photographed calves from 2003 to 2023 with a long‐term photo‐identification catalogue revealed one individual resighted from calf to adulthood ...

Combining individual and close‐kin mark–recapture to design an effective wildlife population survey
Abstract Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) is a promising approach for assessing population size of species that have been difficult to survey using more traditional methods. Here, we combine individual and close‐kin mark–recapture in a single modeling framework (ICKMR) and provide an example of study design using this approach for Pacific walrus ...

Milk Yield and Composition Curves During the Postweaning Machine‐Milking Period in Red Deer Hinds
Deer milk is a dairy product valued for its unique composition and market potential. Research into deer lactation dynamics remains limited. In this study, 4,386 test‐day records from 170 red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) hinds in New Zealand were used to model the milk yield and composition curves using random regression models based on Legendre polynomials.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...
