Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.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 ...

The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

Temperature and Ultraviolet Radiation Influence the Skin Microbiome of Humpback Whales
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT The skin microbiome of humpback whales harbours diverse microbial communities that play a crucial role in host skin protection and environmental interaction. However, studies on cetacean skin microbiomes in the Southern Hemisphere focus on feeding grounds, with limited information on microbiome dynamics at breeding grounds and during migration
