The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of

Virological Sampling of Inaccessible Wildlife with Drones
Viruses, 2018 There is growing interest in characterizing the viromes of diverse mammalian species, particularly in the context of disease emergence. However, little is known about virome diversity in aquatic mammals, in part due to difficulties in sampling.

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

Four decades of annual monitoring reveal declining reproductive success of a migratory baleen whale
Scientific ReportsUnderstanding and mitigating threats to species survival relies on the ability to track key demographic processes over time. Among these processes, reproduction stands out as a primary biological driver of population growth and resilience.

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 ...

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Timing is everything: Drivers of interannual variability in blue whale migration
Scientific Reports, 2019 Blue whales need to time their migration from their breeding grounds to their feeding grounds to avoid missing peak prey abundances, but the cues they use for this are unknown.
