Element concentrations in tissues reveal spatial structure of Atlantic walrus management stocks
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Differences in tissue element concentrations confirm geographic differentiation between 2 of Canada's walrus management stocks but reveal additional spatial structure within the largest stock that may have management implications. Abstract Ensuring harvested animal populations are managed at appropriate scales requires an understanding of underlying ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.Southampton Island hosts two distinct benthic sub‐webs, north and south. North is deeper, phytoplankton‐driven; South is shallower, more ice‐algae driven. North benthos: bottom‐up control, four trophic levels including apex predators. South benthos: walrus top‐down control, trophic truncation to three levels.

True Hermaphroditism in a St. Lawrence Beluga Whale (Delphinapterus leucas) [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1994 A hermaphrodite beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) was found in the St. Lawrence Estuary, Québec, Canada. This animal had two testicles, two separate ovaries, and the complete ducts of each sex; cervix, vagina and vulva were absent. Mature spermatozoa were found in the lumen of seminiferous tubules in the testicles, and numerous involuted corpora ...
