Contrasting abundance and residency patterns of two sympatric populations of transient killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the northern Gulf of Alaska [PDF]
, 2012 Two sympatric populations of “transient” (mammal-eating) killer whales were photo-identified over 27 years (1984–2010) in Prince William Sound and Kenai Fjords, coastal waters of the northern Gulf of Alaska (GOA).

Stable Diffusion Models Reveal a Persisting Human–AI Gap in Visual Creativity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study examines visual creativity in humans and generative AI using the TCIA framework. Human artists outperform AI overall, yet structured human guidance substantially improves AI outputs and evaluations. Findings reveal that alignment with human creativity depends critically on contextual framing, highlighting both the promise and current ...

Thermal Footprints of Whales [PDF]
Oceanography, 2009 Under the right meteorological conditions, whales can leave a trail of cool spots on the ocean surface that are detectable in infrared images. When the wind is light and the sun is shining, the surface water warms to produce a thermal gradient in the top

Bioinspired Morphology‐Decoupled Soft Gripper with Enhanced Bidirectional Grasping Capability
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by biological predation, a novel gripper decouples cross‐modal grasping via dual morphological configurations. Synergistically integrating hybrid rigid and soft coupled fingers with a metamaterial palm, the system performs active compliant grasping for static objects and passive cage capture for dynamic targets.

Sexing From Seawater: Application of Environmental DNA Beyond Species Detection for Cetaceans
Environmental DNAAnthropogenic pressures on marine ecosystems are intensifying, highlighting the need to bridge knowledge gaps for species at risk. Data deficiencies, particularly for species recovering from historic declines, such as marine megafauna like whales, hinder

Environmental enrichment for Killer whales Orcinus orca at zoological institutions: untried and untested [PDF]
, 2017 Despite a history in zoological institutions stretching back more than 50 years, with associated improvements in husbandry and breeding, the keeping of Killer whales Orcinus orca in zoos and aquariums has become highly controversial.
