Beyond the Tangible: Adults' Views on Authenticity in a Digitized Natural History Collection

Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Authenticity is an important aspect in natural history museums. Many museums aim to give their visitors an authentic experience. Now that increasingly more museums are digitizing their collection, the topic of digital authenticity has become relevant.

Pingers as a potential deterrent tool to mitigate Burmeister’s porpoise (Phocoena spinipinnis) bycatch while foraging nocturnally in the Humboldt Current System: a pilot study

Frontiers in Marine Science
Fisheries bycatch is one of the main threats for porpoise species worldwide. In the Humboldt Current system of northern Chile, the elusive Burmeister’s porpoise (Phocoena spinipinnis) inhabits the coastal waters of Mejillones Bay and suffers bycatch ...

Range-dependent flexibility in the acoustic field of view of echolocating porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) [PDF]

, 2015
Funding: Det Frie Forskningsrad (MJ)Toothed whales use sonar to detect, locate, and track prey. They adjust emitted sound intensity, auditory sensitivity and click rate to target range, and terminate prey pursuits with high-repetition-rate, low-intensity

Modelling the effect of varying metabolic rate and cardiac output on estimated tissue and blood O2 and CO2 levels in an extreme deep‐diver, the goose‐beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris)

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐resolution movement data from Cuvier's beaked, or goose‐beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris, hereafter Ziphius, n = 8) tag deployments (4.1–19.2 days) were used to estimate blood and tissue O2 and CO2 levels. Acceleration and magnetometry data were used to estimate the locomotion cost (LC) from the relationship between activity and the O2 ...

Genomic infrastructure for cetacean research and conservation: reference genomes for eight families spanning the cetacean tree of life

Frontiers in Marine Science
Reference genomes from representative species across families provide the critical infrastructure for research and conservation. The Cetacean Genomes Project (CGP) began in early 2020 to facilitate the generation of near error-free, chromosome-resolved ...

Validation of aerial photogrammetry methods to measure body size, condition and mass in small cetaceans

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Unoccupied aerial vehicle (UAV)‐based photogrammetry provides measurements equivalent to traditional hand measurements in bottlenose dolphins. Mass estimates derived from UAV measurements closely match the true body mass of live individuals.

Brucella ceti Infection in Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
We describe Brucella sp. infection and associated lesions in a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) found on the coast of Belgium. The infection was diagnosed by immunohistochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, and bacteriology, and the organism ...
