WhaleWatch: a dynamic management tool for predicting blue whale density in the California Current
, 2017 Summary Management of highly migratory species is reliant on spatially and temporally explicit information on their distribution and abundance. Satellite telemetry provides time-series data on individual movements.

Postreproductive killer whale grandmothers improve the survival of their grandoffspring
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Why humans and some species of whales go through menopause remains an evolutionary puzzle. In humans, postreproductive females gain genetic benefits by helping family members—particularly increasing their number of surviving grandoffspring ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Determining population status to inform mitigation of anthropogenic threats requires statistical approaches that investigate spatial and temporal variation. In the face of climate change it is increasingly important to differentiate between changes in population size and redistributions of populations.

Multi‐Objective Optimization of Phase Change Coupled Thermal Management System Based on NSWOA
ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.NSWOA‐optimized liquid‐PCM hybrid cooling reduces 18 650 pack Tmax by 5.9 K and ΔT to 4.7 K at 4 °C discharge, validated within 1.5 K error; non‐uniform cell placement and key PCM properties are balanced for safety. This study investigates phase change materials (PCMs) for lithium battery thermal management.

Aerodynamic enhancement of wind turbine blades through Peregrine falcon‐inspired surface designs
Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.Abstract As global energy demands increase, enhancing renewable energy technologies, particularly wind turbines, is essential to meet sustainability goals. However, achieving higher efficiency remains challenging due to limitations in traditional blade designs. This study explores an innovative solution by applying biomimetic principles inspired by the
