Description, Detection, and Classification of Hawaiian Monk Seal Vocalizations Through Deep‐Learning Methods: Biological and Conservation Applications

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Hawaiian monk seal is a phocid Carnivore endemic to the Hawaiian Archipelago. This species was thought to be silent under water until the recent discovery that mature males produce at least six distinct calls year round, typically in bouts of two or more, with sound production linked to reproductive status.

Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...
