Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.Global change is reshaping marine habitats, altering predator–prey interactions and food web dynamics. Using Boosted Regression Trees, we assess habitat suitability shifts for crustaceans, fish, penguins, and pinnipeds across three Southern Hemisphere regions from 1850 to 2100 under two climate scenarios.

Characterization of pinniped vibrissal type and number
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract Pinnipeds have vibrissae with which they can explore their environment. Two vibrissal parameters that differ in pinnipeds are shape and number. Regarding shape, most phocids have undulated vibrissae, whereas the vibrissae of a few phocids, all otariids and walruses are smooth.

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2024.We developed a framework to assess climate change risk for 56 seabird and seal species breeding in Australian territories and Antarctica. Extreme weather, changes in habitat suitability, and prey availability were key climate hazards, with species such as shy albatross, Australian fur seals, southern rockhopper penguins, and Australian sea lions facing

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 6, June 2024.This study investigates the drivers of anthropogenic debris hotspots and uses spatial analysis to highlight areas of concern for threatened species within Australia. Analyzing a database of over 24,000 beach surveys from the Australian Marine Debris Initiative, this study identifies key factors influencing debris hotspots on a continental scale ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2024.Abstract The use of acoustic signals to communicate is widespread among marine mammals and vocalizations are involved in all their social interactions. Due to many factors, acoustic features of a species' vocalizations may differ among populations. The present study investigated both micro‐ and macro‐geographical variation in the vocalizations of Cape ...

Geographic variation in simple contact calls of Canadian beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas)
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 40, Issue 2, April 2024.Abstract Beluga whales, Delphinapterus leucas, are a highly social species with a complex and diverse vocal repertoire. Although extensively studied and classified, to date few attempts have been made to examine geographic variation in their calls. In this study, we examined geographic variation in simple contact calls (SCCs), specifically those that ...
