, 2011 This thesis presents four marine resource assessments; three concern the Southern Hemisphere (SH) humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) and one the South African east coast rock lobster Palinurus delagoae. It also sets out the statistical background to

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) from breeding stock A migrate annually between Antarctic feeding grounds (~65° S) and Brazilian breeding areas (~17° S). Traditionally considered to fast during migration, recent feeding observations and increased strandings along southeastern Brazil (~23° S) raise questions about possible shifts in ...

Endangered Species Research, 2018 Anthropogenic noise negatively impacts many species. One of the more insidious effects of elevated noise levels is the reduction in area over which animals are able to acoustically communicate, often termed communication masking.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Marine mammal strandings can provide unique and valuable insights into individual and population health, ranging from infectious diseases to anthropogenic threats. However, the level of decomposition of carcasses can interfere with the assessment of important indicators, such as an individual's nutritional status.

Killer Whales in the Central Tropical Pacific: Occurrence, Resightings, Morphology, and Acoustics
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Compared to their well‐studied coastal temperate counterparts, killer whales (Orcinus orca) in tropical‐subtropical and oceanic areas are under‐documented. We used sighting, photo‐identification, and acoustic data of killer whales in the central tropical Pacific (CTP), collected from multiple platforms between 2002 and 2023, to assess their ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Microplastics have been identified in hundreds of species, with evidence of trophic transfer via contaminated prey. Sarasota Bay common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) serve as sentinels of coastal pollution, including plastics and chemical plasticizers. Previous research confirmed microplastic ingestion in these dolphins (100.0%, n =

Machine Learning Detection of Scarring Events in Killer Whales
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Detection and analysis of body scars using photo‐identification data of cetaceans can provide insights into life history, behavior, and exposure to threats, but such analyses typically require manual examination of large image datasets. To explore whether machine learning can assist this process, we developed a pipeline for automatically ...
