Polar‐low track prediction using machine‐learning methods

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Machine‐learning models are developed to produce reliable and efficient forecasts of polar‐low (PL) trajectories 12 hours ahead. A temporal model (RLSTM) benefiting from the rolling‐forecast strategy, improves overall prediction accuracy and is suitable for quick experimentation, while a spatiotemporal model (PL‐UNet), incorporating both historical and

Prevalence of polygyny in a critically endangered marine turtle population

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2018
Genetic analyses of nuclear DNA (e.g., microsatellites) are a primary tool for investigating mating systems in reptiles, particularly marine turtles. Whereas studies over the past two decades have demonstrated that polyandry (i.e., females mating with ...

Change of perspective: using aerial surveys to identify human-turtle interactions in the Ningaloo Marine Park

open access: yes, 2009
Shore-based turtle tourism is emerging as a popular activity for independent travellers during the summer months in the Ningaloo Marine Park, yet little is known about the spatial extent of human-turtle interactions and their impact on nesting marine ...

Gaps in marine turtle research: a 32-year review

open access: yes, 2021
Sea turtles are a charismatic group of marine reptiles that are globally distributed, occupy unique ecological niches, and exhibit intra-specific variations in population sizes, reproduction, and morphology. Furthermore, the group is of great interest to

Assessing the Health Impacts of Contaminants on Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Along the Southern Coast of Brazil

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Prediction of Large Whale Distributions: A Comparison of Presence–Absence and Presence-Only Modeling Techniques

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Species distribution models that predict species occurrence or density by quantifying relationships with environmental variables are used for a variety of scientific investigations and management applications. For endangered species, such as large whales,
