A collaborative and near-comprehensive North Pacific humpback whale photo-ID dataset

Scientific Reports, 2023
We present an ocean-basin-scale dataset that includes tail fluke photographic identification (photo-ID) and encounter data for most living individual humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the North Pacific Ocean.

Estimates of humpback and minke whale entanglements in the Scottish static pot (creel) fishery

Endangered Species Research, 2022
Entanglement in static fishing gear (pots, or creels as they are called in Scottish fisheries) is a major cause of anthropogenic mortality and morbidity in large whales globally; in northeastern Atlantic waters around the coast of Scotland, entanglement ...

Animal translations: AI and the intelligibility of non‐human worlds Traduire l'animal : l'IA et l'intelligibilité des mondes non humains

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Amid the general sense of worry that large language models will soon drown out human voices, some researchers are optimistic that machine learning will allow humans to listen to and understand animal voices to an unprecedented extent. As part of a broader project aimed at interspecies communication, a loosely connected set of animal behaviourists, AI ...

Humpback whales of the Persian Gulf [PDF]

, 2017
Abstract The humpback whale has long been considered a rare straggler into the Persian Gulf, however new evidence contradicts this concept. We here critically review published and new records for Megaptera novaeangliae occurrence in the Gulf for the period 1883-2017.

Modeling Skin Mark Temporal Variations to Estimate the Sex of Delphinids with Low Sexual Dimorphism: Implications for Management and Conservation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This work aimed to apply the principles of skin mark analysis to a cetacean species to build a sex‐discrimination model exclusively based on photographic material. Relevant differences between sexes emerged in markings, with males presenting more social, aggression‐related, and fishing‐related marks overall, and a stronger tendency of mark accumulation
