Photo-ID and telemetry highlight a global whale shark hotspot in Palawan, Philippines. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractThe Philippines is home to the second largest known population of whale sharks in the world. The species is listed as endangered due to continued population declines in the Indo-Pacific. Knowledge about the connectivity within Southeast Asia remains poor, and thus international management is difficult.

Reduced Adult Survival Estimated in Areas of Decline of Harbour Seal Populations in Scotland [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Understanding the demographic drivers behind observed changes in wild populations is key to inferring intrinsic and extrinsic causes behind such changes. In Scotland, harbour seal populations have undergone regional declines since the early 2000s.

Estimating reproductive and juvenile survival rates when offspring ages are uncertain: A novel multievent mark‐resight model with beluga whale case study

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Understanding the survival and reproductive rates of a population is critical to determining its long‐term dynamics and viability. Mark‐resight models are often used to estimate these demographic rates, but estimation of survival and reproductive rates ...

Rise of the Machines: Best Practices and Experimental Evaluation of Computer-Assisted Dorsal Fin Image Matching Systems for Bottlenose Dolphins

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Photographic-identification (photo-ID) of bottlenose dolphins using individually distinctive features on the dorsal fin is a well-established and useful tool for tracking individuals; however, this method can be labor-intensive, especially when dealing ...
