Laser photogrammetry improves size and demographic estimates for whale sharks [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Whale sharks Rhincodon typus are globally threatened, but a lack of biological and demographic information hampers an accurate assessment of their vulnerability to further decline or capacity to recover.

Insight into the kinematics of blue whale surface foraging through drone observations and prey data [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 To understand how predators optimize foraging strategies, extensive knowledge of predator behavior and prey distribution is needed. Blue whales employ an energetically demanding lunge feeding method that requires the whales to selectively feed where ...

Embracing Complexity and Complexity-Awareness in Marine Megafauna Conservation and Research
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Conservation of marine megafauna is nested within an intricate tapestry of multiple ocean resource uses which are, in turn, embedded in a dynamic and complex ecological ocean system that varies and shifts across a wide range of spatial and temporal ...

Marine Megafauna and Charismatic Vertebrate Species
, 2021 Marine megafauna typically include large pelagic sharks, sea turtles, seabirds, and marine mammals. These megafauna are mainly associated with pelagic ecosystems through which they undertake long-distance migration.

Mismatches in scale between highly mobile marine megafauna and marine protected areas
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Marine protected areas (MPAs), particularly large MPAs, are increasing in number and size around the globe in part to facilitate the conservation of marine megafauna under the assumption that large-scale MPAs better align with vagile life histories ...
