Top‐Down and Bottom‐Up Processes Jointly Explain Mesopredator Movement and Foraging Ecology
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.This study integrates top‐down (polar bear habitat selection) and bottom‐up (fish distribution) processes to test how mesopredators (ringed seals) balance risk–reward tradeoffs in habitat selection. Ringed seals reduced their space use and foraging time in response to predation risk, yet accepted higher risk when prey diversity was elevated ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Cetaceans are indicators of ocean health, influence marine ecosystem dynamics and hold socio‐economic importance for coastal whaling communities. Yet whale–whaler relationships remain poorly understood and are increasingly compromised under the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. Here, we briefly outline

Seismo-Stratigraphy and Sedimentology of Holocene Sediments off Grande Rivière de la Baleine, Southeastern Hudson Bay, Québec [PDF]
, 1993 The regional distribution of Holocene sediments of eastern Hudson Bay off the Grande Rivière de la Baleine mouth was mapped using a grid of reflection seismic lines (approximately 300 km long and covering an area of approximately 800 km2) and data from 7

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 397-416, February 2026.Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.

A combined linkage and exome sequencing analysis for electrocardiogram parameters in the Erasmus Rucphen family study [PDF]
, 2016 Electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements play a key role in the diagnosis and prediction of cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. ECG parameters, such as the PR, QRS, and QT intervals, are known to be heritable and genome-wide association studies of ...

On the Damage Tolerance of Diffusion Bonded Titanium–Aluminum Phase Biomimetic Composites
Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT The biomimetic design principles of natural structures involve the strategic integration of stiff and compliant phases to synergistically enhance strength and toughness. Its evolutionary refined natural armor, characterized by a specialized microarchitecture, enables superior damage tolerance.

Use of tusks by narwhals, Monodon monoceros, in foraging, exploratory, and play behavior
Frontiers in Marine ScienceDespite the universal fascination with the tusk of the narwhal, the function of this long, spiraled tooth is still debated, primarily because few people have observed how narwhals (Monodon monoceros) use their tusks in the wild.
