Intra-Seasonal Acoustic Variation in Humpback Whale Songs in the North Colombian Pacific
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringHumpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are well known for their complex acoustic communication, which plays a critical role in social interactions and reproduction.

Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

Post-whaling shift in mating tactics in male humpback whales
Communications Biology, 2023 AbstractRecent studies have shown behavioural plasticity in mating strategies can increase a population’s ability to cope with anthropogenic impacts. The eastern Australian humpback whale population was whaled almost to extinction in the 1960s (~200 whales) and has recovered to pre-whaling numbers (>20,000 whales).

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Overview of the holistic engineering lifecycle and core research pillars for wind turbine blades. ABSTRACT This paper reviews recent advancements across the lifecycle of wind turbine blades, focusing on three interconnected areas: advanced composites, structural optimization, and machine learning (ML) diagnostics. In materials, we highlight progress in

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.This study presents a semi‐automated, rule‐based image analysis pipeline to detect ice seals in aerial surveys of the Western Antarctic Peninsula during an unusually low sea ice year. By using simple hierarchical clustering instead of deep learning, the method substantially reduced human annotation effort while achieving 82% recall, identifying 758 ...
