Antimicrobial Activity of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis Isolated from a Stranded Cuvier’s Beaked Whale (Ziphius cavirostris) against Gram-Positive and -Negative Bacteria

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
In the present study, we isolated and characterized Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) subsp. lactis from a female Cuvier’s beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris) stranded in Shizuoka, Japan.

Memory and resource tracking drive blue whale migrations

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance The causes and consequences of animal migration have received substantial research attention, yet the mechanisms underlying this global phenomenon remain largely untested in marine systems. By combining 10 years of satellite tracking data on

Lévy Flight Trajectory-Based Whale Optimization Algorithm for Global Optimization

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2017
The whale optimization algorithm (WOA) has been shown to be powerful in searching for an optimal solution. This paper proposes an improvement to the whale optimization algorithm that is based on a Lévy flight trajectory and called the Lévy flight ...

Deep Machine Learning Techniques for the Detection and Classification of Sperm Whale Bioacoustics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
We implemented Machine Learning (ML) techniques to advance the study of sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) bioacoustics. This entailed employing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to construct an echolocation click detector designed to classify ...

Killer whales and whaling: the scavenging hypothesis [PDF]

open access: yesBiology Letters, 2005
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) frequently scavenged from the carcasses produced by whalers. This practice became especially prominent with large-scale mechanical whaling in the twentieth century, which provided temporally and spatially clustered floating carcasses associated with loud acoustic signals.

Whale counting in satellite and aerial images with deep learning

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Despite their interest and threat status, the number of whales in world’s oceans remains highly uncertain. Whales detection is normally carried out from costly sighting surveys, acoustic surveys or through high-resolution images. Since deep convolutional

Toward a Species Search Engine: KISSE Offers a Rigorous Statistical Framework for Bone Collagen Tandem Mass Spectrometry Data

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The Species Search Engine (KISSE) is a novel statistical approach for identifying species from collagen peptides, using a curated library of sequences and their relative abundances derived from shotgun proteomics. Abstract DNA and bone collagen are two key sources of resilient molecular markers used to identify species from their remains.

Biodegradable Sodium Alginate Films Incorporated With Microcapsules of Amazonian Buriti Fruit Oil (Mauritia flexuosa L.)

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pollution caused by plastic polymers is a growing concern as it compromises biodiversity and human health. As a sustainable solution, developing biodegradable films, such as sodium alginate, is promising due to its low vapor permeability, flexibility, gloss, and cost‐effectiveness.
