Trends in Aquatic Environmental DNA Research in Alaska

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is an emerging tool with significant potential to advance biomonitoring, particularly in remote and logistically challenging environments. To evaluate the state of eDNA research in Alaska, we conducted a literature review and a regional survey and results provide the first comprehensive overview of eDNA research in ...

Species‐Specific qPCR Assays for Detecting Blue, Fin, and Sei Whales (Balaenoptera spp.) From Offshore Environmental DNA Samples

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Species‐specific eDNA qPCR assays were developed and validated for blue, fin, and sei whales and were tested alongside visual surveys in the northwest Atlantic. Results show strong concordance for fin whales, demonstrating eDNA's value for enhancing offshore monitoring of at‐risk large whales.

Assessing the Underwater Impact of Aerodynamic Noise From Offshore Wind Turbines

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The growing demand for offshore wind energy has led to a significant increase in wind turbine size and to the development of large‐scale wind farms, often comprising 100–150 turbines. However, the environmental impact of underwater noise emissions remains largely unaddressed.

Harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) reactions to pingers

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, 2018
AbstractThe use of acoustic alarms (pingers) has been mandated in several gill net fisheries around the world. Even though pingers have shown to reduce the incidental catch there are still questions to be answered in relation to effective range, habituation and displacement. In the present studies, the vocalization behavior of porpoises was recorded in

Harbor Porpoise and Beluga Whale Habitat Use in the Saguenay‐St. Lawrence Marine Park (Canada) Revealed by a Combination of Visual and Acoustic Survey

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Studying habitat use of cetaceans that spend most of their lives underwater poses challenges, prompting the use of complementary methods. Non‐invasive methods, land‐based surveys (LBS) and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), were used to characterize occurrence patterns of beluga whales, harbor porpoises, and vessels in the Saguenay–St ...
