MF-HER: Marine Mammal-Friendly Based High Spectral-Efficient Routing for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
In real ocean environments, artificial acoustic and natural acoustic systems are coexisted to share scarce spectrum resources. In this paper, we propose a marine mammals-friendly based high spectral-efficient routing (MF-HER) protocol to improve spectrum

Efficacy of bear spray as a deterrent against polar bears

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2023
Although there have been few attempts to systematically analyze information on the use of deterrents on polar bears (Ursus maritimus), understanding their effectiveness in mitigating human‐polar bear conflicts is critical to ensuring both human safety ...

Examining the Role of Marine Mammals and Seabirds in Southeast Alaska’s Marine Ecosystem Dynamics

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Primary producers are the foundation of marine food webs and require reliable nutrient sources to maintain their important role with ecosystems. While marine mammals and seabirds can play critical roles in marine nutrient cycling, their contributions are

Diffusion modeling reveals effects of multiple release sites and human activity on a recolonizing apex predator

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2021
Background Reintroducing predators is a promising conservation tool to help remedy human-caused ecosystem changes. However, the growth and spread of a reintroduced population is a spatiotemporal process that is driven by a suite of factors, such as ...

EFPC: An Environmentally Friendly Power Control Scheme for Underwater Sensor Networks

open access: yesSensors, 2015
In oceans, the limited acoustic spectrum resource is heavily shared by marine mammals and manmade systems including underwater sensor networks. In order to limit the negative impact of acoustic signal on marine mammals, we propose an environmentally ...
