Soviet Illegal Whaling: The Devil and the Details [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In 1948, the U.S.S.R. began a global campaign of illegal whaling that lasted for three decades and, together with the poorly managed “legal” whaling of other nations, seriously depleted whale populations.

Predicting Historical Populations and Evaluating Shifting Baselines of Traditionally Exploited Fisheries

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 506-518, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Development of data‐intensive stock assessment and ecosystem‐based models has improved our understanding of shifting species abundance in response to fishing, ocean ecology, and species interactions. Along with this analytical progress is evidence that many stocks lack data required for complex models, resulting in data‐limited options for ...

Automated Detection and Classification of Marine Species Vocalizations Using a YOLO‐Based Deep Learning Framework

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study proposes a YOLO‐inspired deep learning framework to automatically detect and classify marine species vocalizations, using a synthetic dataset to simulate realistic overlapping and non‐overlapping conditions. The model demonstrated strong performance and high precision, establishing a baseline for implementing real‐time passive acoustic ...

Communicating amidst the noise: modeling the aggregate influence of ambient and vessel noise on baleen whale communication space in a national marine sanctuary

open access: yesEndangered 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.

Tagging Very Small Fish: Two Effective and Low Impact Methods

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 3, Page 213-224, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Identifying individuals over time and across contexts is essential in many scientific fields. There are a variety of well‐established methods for uniquely marking individuals (e.g., visible implant elastomer, barcodes, paint). However, for some species, life history stages, and/or experiments, existing methods are not sufficient.
