Groundtruthing of pelagic forage fish detected by hydroacoustics in a whale feeding area using environmental DNA

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2020
Conservation of whales, considered as umbrella species in marine environments, requires to be able to understand their relationships with ecosystem components such as prey species, including pelagic fish. However, studying such relationships in nature is

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

The Foe You Know: Observations of Interspecific Interactions Between Small Cetaceans and Northern Resident Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in the Northeast Pacific

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
We documented the first aerial observations of interspecific interactions of fish‐eating, northern resident killer whales (Orcinus orca) with two small cetacean species, Dall's porpoises (Phocoenoides dalli) and Pacific white‐sided dolphins ...

Species‐Specific qPCR Assays for Detecting Blue, Fin, and Sei Whales (Balaenoptera spp.) From Offshore Environmental DNA Samples

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA
Globally, mysticete species are still recovering from the population depletions caused by commercial whaling. In addition to overcoming the effects of population bottlenecks, large whale species, including blue (Balaenoptera musculus), fin (Balaenoptera ...
