Satellite tracking reveals novel migratory patterns and the importance of seamounts for endangered South Pacific humpback whales

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
The humpback whale population of New Caledonia appears to display a novel migratory pattern characterized by multiple directions, long migratory paths and frequent pauses over seamounts and other shallow geographical features.

Dynamic geo‐hydrogeological monitoring‐driven situational awareness for real‐time floor water inrush risk prediction in deep mining

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The fused data extracted from the distributed monitoring system as the data basis, combined with dynamic geological data, are imported into a deep learning model. As the geological conditions of mining and excavation change, the risk of water inrush at the working face is retrieved in real time.

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) Predation on Beaked Whales (Mesoplodon spp.) in the Bremer Sub-Basin, Western Australia.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Observations of killer whales (Orcinus orca) feeding on the remains of beaked whales have been previously documented; however, to date, there has been no published account of killer whales actively preying upon beaked whales.

First indications that northern bottlenose whales are sensitive to behavioural disturbance from anthropogenic noise

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
Although northern bottlenose whales were the most heavily hunted beaked whale, we have little information about this species in its remote habitat of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future

open access: yesEcography, 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 ...

Probabilistic Multi‐Objective Energy Management System Model for an Energy Hub With PtG Technology for Cost Reduction and System Flexibility Improvement

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Overview of the under‐study hub energy model showing the energy conversion and distribution among integrated sources and loads. ABSTRACT In this paper, a probabilistic bi‐objective energy management system (EMS) model is proposed for an energy hub (EH) equipped with renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind turbine connected to the main ...

Biologically Important Areas II for cetaceans within U.S. and adjacent waters - West Coast Region

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Here we update U.S. West Coast Biologically Important Areas (BIAs) that were published in 2015 using new data and approaches. Additionally, BIAs were delineated for two species that were not delineated in the 2015 BIAs: fin whales and Southern Resident ...

Encountering whales: How encounter rates became the basis for managing whaling

open access: yesNAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2009
Declining rates of encountering whales, including both sighting and catching, were noted by whalers throughout the 19th century, and these declines became the first indication that whaling was adversely affecting whale abundance.

Sound production and associated behavior of tagged fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in the Southern California Bight

open access: yesAnimal Biotelemetry, 2015
BackgroundFor marine animals, acoustic communication is critical for many life functions, yet individual calling behavior is poorly understood for most large whale species.
