Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Entanglements and vessel strikes impact large whales worldwide. Post-event health status is often unknown because whales are seen once or over short spans that conceal long-term health declines.

Whales and Whaling: a Dance of Death [PDF]
Oryx, 1975 The whaling industry and its raw material, the whale stocks of the world, continue their grim Totentanz towards their mutual extinction. The most significant event of the 27th meeting of the International Whaling Commission in London in June, and one of the least publicised, was the Soviet announcement that next season they would have only two instead ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Drone Up! Quantifying Whale Behavior From a New Perspective Improves Observational Capacity
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 From our traditional boat-based horizontal perspective, marine megafauna behavioral observations are typically limited to animal surfacings. Achieving an aerial perspective has been restricted to brief helicopter or airplane based observations that are ...

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2005 Spondyloarthropathy is the term applied to a form of arthritis with sentinel alteration of the spine, in the form of syndesmophytes and zygapophyseal joint erosions.1–3 Although a single zygapophyseal joint can be damaged by pyogenic or rarely by a granulomatous infection, the only known cause of multiple zygapophyseal joint erosions is ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Oceans, 2022 Analyses of the spatial and temporal patterns of 26 years of stranding events (1995–2011 and 2012–2021, n = 568) in Indonesia were conducted to improve the country’s stranding response.

Genome-culture coevolution promotes rapid divergence of killer whale ecotypes
Nature Communications, 2016 Analysing population genomic data from killer whale ecotypes, which we estimate have globally radiated within less than 250,000 years, we show that genetic structuring including the segregation of potentially functional alleles is associated with ...

Morphology and function of pinniped necks: The long and short of it
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Terrestrial vertebrates from at least 30 distinct lineages in both extinct and extant clades have returned to aquatic environments. With these transitions came numerous morphological adaptations to accommodate life in water. Relatively little attention has been paid to the cervical region when tracking this transition.
