Density and Abundance of Cetaceans in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Based on a Spatial/Temporal Analysis of 1986–2006 Line‐Transect Surveys

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The abundance of cetaceans in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP) is estimated using spatial/temporal density modeling and conventional line‐transect approaches. Line‐transect data are analyzed from 10 ship‐based visual sighting surveys from 1986 to 2006 that include 281,000 km of survey effort in a 19.4 million km2 study area.

High and minimally variable adult marine survival among multiple stocks of Chinook salmon

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Estimates of individual survival across space and time provide critical information on processes that regulate population abundance. Here, we use state‐space models fit to data from more than 500 acoustically tagged Chinook salmon to better understand the factors that shape survival during the final summer and fall of marine residence—a life ...

Vocalizing Behavior in Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) – an Evolutionary Account

open access: yes, 2021
In this thesis, we compare human language, as defined by Noam Chomsky in his biolinguistic account of language, with killer whale (Orcinus orca) vocalizations and what we call the orca vocalization and orca symbolic vocalization systems.

Advances in deep learning-driven photo identification and meta analysis of cetaceans in large data repositories

open access: yesEcological Informatics
Photo-identification of cetaceans remains a labor-intensive task, requiring expert annotation of long-tailed image datasets in which most individuals are rarely encountered.

Vocalisations of Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in the Bremer Canyon, Western Australia. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
To date, there has been no dedicated study in Australian waters on the acoustics of killer whales. Hence no information has been published on the sounds produced by killer whales from this region.

Decadal Bowhead Whale Baleen Stable Isotope and Hormone Chronologies (1985–2010) Provide Insight Into Arctic Ecosystem Change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Long‐term chronologies constructed from individual bowhead baleen plates reveal stable isotope declines consistent with regional Arctic food web or productivity changes superimposed on global anthropogenic C and N inputs, while relatively stable hormone concentrations over the same period provide no evidence of a concomitant increase in physiological ...

Circulating and Excreted Corticosteroids and Metabolites, Hematological, and Serum Chemistry Parameters in the Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) Before and After a Stress Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Comparisons of circulating and excreted corticosteroid profiles during a biological stress response could provide more data concerning the timing and magnitude of acute hormone changes in different sample matrices.

Myths, Furphies and Red Herrings Associated With Dingo Ecology and Management

open access: yesEcological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Variability in the inferential strength or reliability of different scientific studies creates uncertainty in the status of knowledge on a given subject, giving rise to multiple myths, furphies and red herrings in scientific discourse. This is particularly true in the case of dingo ecology and management in Australia, which exemplifies common ...
