An at-sea assessment of Argos location accuracy for three species of large whales, and the effect of deep-diving behavior on location error

open access: yesAnimal Biotelemetry, 2020
Background Argos satellite telemetry is used globally to track terrestrial and aquatic megafauna, yet the accuracy of this system has been described empirically only for a limited number of species.

Fishers’ knowledge as an information source to investigate by-catch of marine mammals in the South China Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Bycatch mortality is a significant driver of marine mammal population declines. However, there is little information available on patterns or magnitude of bycatch mortality in many heavily fished Asian marine systems such as the South China Sea (SCS). To

Using modelled prey to predict the distribution of a highly mobile marine mammal

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2020
Species distribution models (SDMs) are a widely used tool to estimate and map habitat suitability for wildlife populations. Most studies that model marine mammal density or distributions use oceanographic proxies for marine mammal prey.

Global coverage of cetacean line-transect surveys : status quo, data gaps and future challenges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Knowledge of abundance, trends and distribution of cetacean populations is needed to inform marine conservation efforts, ecosystem models and spatial planning.

Sea ice directs changes in bowhead whale phenology through the Bering Strait

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2023
Background Climate change is warming the Arctic faster than the rest of the planet. Shifts in whale migration timing have been linked to climate change in temperate and sub-Arctic regions, and evidence suggests Bering–Chukchi–Beaufort (BCB) bowhead ...

A non-traditional model of the metabolic syndrome: the adaptive significance of insulin resistance in fasting-adapted seals

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Insulin resistance in modern society is perceived as a pathological consequence of excess energy consumption and reduced physical activity. Its presence in relation to the development of cardiovascular risk factors has been termed the metabolic syndrome,

Genome sequence of an alphaherpesvirus from a beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Beluga whale alphaherpesvirus 1 was isolated from a blowhole swab taken from a juvenile beluga whale. The genome is 144,144 bp in size and contains 86 putative genes. The virus groups phylogenetically with members of the genus Varicellovirus in subfamily

Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) Reaction to a 3D Seismic Airgun Survey in the North Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The most common cetacean in the North Sea is the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). Underwater noise is increasingly recognized as a source of impact on the marine environment and seismic airguns were one of the first man-made high intensity sound ...
