Unobserved Individual and Population Level Impacts of Fishing Gear Entanglements on North Atlantic Right Whales

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We analyzed 28 years of North Atlantic right whale photo‐identification, health, and entanglement assessments to estimate the impacts of fishing gear entanglements on female right whale fecundity and population trajectory. We developed a hidden Markov model that accounted for key uncertainties regarding each right whale's survival, reproduction ...

Challenges of Monitoring Endangered Bryde's Whales During a Period of Rapid Environmental Change

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Estimating population size is challenging for rare and elusive species that occur at low densities and are difficult to detect during sampling. We estimated the abundance of a Nationally critical whale species—Aotearoa New Zealand Bryde's whales—using a custom‐formulated POPAN model which incorporated transience to account for their complex residency ...
