Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

Relational knowing as method and practice

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper seeks to contribute to (re)building the capacity for embodied, place‐based relational knowing, transforming how we know and thus what we know. What is known, or sought to be known, is relations. How we know these relations is by already being in it: breathing, sensing, moving, listening, responding, affecting and being affected ...

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Low prevalence of zoonotic food-borne parasites Toxoplasma gondii and Trichinella spp., but high prevalence of a potential marine Sarcocystis spp., in Eastern Beaufort Sea beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) harvested in the Canadian Arctic

Arctic Science
Beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas (Pallas, 1776)) are traditional food sources for Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic. In response to community concerns about zoonotic parasites (Toxoplasma gondii and Trichinella spp.), the aim of this study was

Stable Isotope Analysis (δ¹³C, δ¹⁵N and δ¹⁸O) of Killer Whale Dentine: Evaluating Treatment Methods and Establishing Best Practices. [PDF]

Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom
ABSTRACT Rationale Stable isotope measurements in odontocete teeth can be used to reconstruct lifetime ecology, but some pre‐treatments may introduce bias. Isolating dentine collagen with HCl decalcification, removing the organic matrix or drying dentine prior to the analysis of structural carbonates can introduce unintended variability, limiting ...

Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

The Cetacean Sanctuary: A Sea of Unknowns

Animals
Housing cetaceans in netted sea pens is not new and is common for many accredited managed-care facilities. Hence, the distinction between sanctuary and sea pen is more about the philosophies of those who run these sanctuary facilities, the effects of ...

Gray Whale (Eschrictius robustus) Call Types Recorded During Migration off the West Coast of Vancouver Island

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) vocalizing behavior varies over its range, both in call type and frequency. This study adds to the growing body of passive acoustic research outside of the calving/breeding lagoons, and moves toward a description of ...
