Validation of aerial photogrammetry methods to measure body size, condition and mass in small cetaceans
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 5, Page 1788-1808, 1 March 2026.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.Riccardo Cicciarella, Erik P. Willems, Benjamin Markham, Manuela R.

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...Michelle VanCompernolle, Juliet Morris, Hannah J.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT
Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities.Gordon B. Bauer, Peter F. Cook, Heidi E. Harley, Jason Bruck, Mel Cosentino, Charles J.
