Fishing Activity Affected Odontocete Cetacean Distribution in a Marine Protected Area in the East China Sea

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.

Boat Noise Is Associated With Reduced Behavioral Lateralization in Juvenile Large Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys crocea)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Our results show that boat noise is associated with weaker expression of turning bias, poorer behavioral performance, elevated oxygen consumption, and concurrent gut‐associated shifts in juvenile Larimichthys crocea. These findings suggest that anthropogenic noise may influence not only physiological condition, but also behavioral phenotypes ...

Successful 22‐Hour Rescue and Release of a 19.5 M Beached Sperm Whale

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
19.5‐m‐long sperm whale was stranded on a mudflat, China on 19 April 2022. A dramatic 22‐hour rescue mission ultimately saved the whale, enabling it to swim back to sea. ABSTRACT Whales, dolphins, and porpoises are important flagship species and play a vital role in maintaining healthy aquatic ecosystems. However, stranded cetaceans are often doomed if

Optimising the performance of acoustic telemetry receiver arrays for tracking aquatic animals using the arrayplanR package

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Strategically deploying acoustic telemetry receiver arrays is vital for tracking the movements of aquatic animals. Nevertheless, there is a lack of tools that provide the capacity to evaluate how well arrays perform in their study area, as well as ways to optimise receiver configurations to best meet study goals.

Downstream Passage Performance of European Silver Eels (Anguilla anguilla): The Importance of Phenotypic Variation and Rack Design

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
During their spawning migration, European silver eels frequently encounter hydropower facilities where successful downstream passage is essential for the conservation of this critically endangered species. In this study, we evaluated how three angled rack designs and individual behavioral variation influenced downstream passage success in large‐scale ...
