Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In markets that prioritize Corporate Social Responsibility, brands frequently encounter pressure to adopt socially progressive values. Victoria's Secret's recent shift toward inclusivity exemplifies how rapid moral repositioning can elicit skepticism and accusations of “woke‐washing.” Despite extensive research on brand authenticity, consumer ...

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Homology in vertebrate body plans is traditionally ascribed to the high‐level conservation of regulatory components within the genetic programs governing them, particularly during the “phylotypic stage.” However, advancements in embryology and molecular phylogeny have unveiled the dynamic nature of gene repertoires responsible for early ...

Sea surface temperature predicts the movements of an Arctic cetacean: the bowhead whale
Scientific Reports, 2018 The effects of climate change constitute a major concern in Arctic waters due to the rapid decline of sea ice, which may strongly alter the movements and habitat availability of Arctic marine mammals.

Whaling and whale killing methods
Animal Welfare, 2013 Subsistence whale hunting dates back to 400AD (Perrinet al2009). Large-scale industrialised whaling to provide whale oil commenced in the late nineteenth century. Hunts escalated in the early 20th century and reports to the International Whaling Commission (IWC) show that over two million great whales were killed in hunts in the Southern Ocean between ...

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future
Ecography, EarlyView.Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...
