Osmoregulation in Marine Mammals [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2001
SUMMARY Osmoregulation in marine mammals has been investigated for over a century; however, a review of recent advances in our understanding of water and electrolyte balance and of renal function in marine mammals is warranted. The following topics are discussed: (i) kidney structure and urine concentrating ability, (ii) sources of water,

Identifying predictors of species diversity to guide designation of marine protected areas

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are a widely‐used tool for conserving biodiversity. Features that support marine mammal foraging have been suggested as important components to include in MPAs, but research is needed to understand the relationship between ...
