Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

The Sonar Model for Humpback Whale Song Revised

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Why do humpback whales sing? This paper considers the hypothesis that humpback whales may use song for long range sonar. Given the vocal and social behavior of humpback whales, in several cases it is not apparent how they monitor the movements of distant

First Long-Term Behavioral Records from Cuvier’s Beaked Whales (Ziphius cavirostris) Reveal Record-Breaking Dives

PLoS ONE, 2014
Cuvier’s beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) are known as extreme divers, though behavioral data from this difficult-to-study species have been limited.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Placental crises: disruptive selection and maternal under‐investment as the foundations of mammalian placental evolution and dysfunction

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among the vertebrates, mammals are notable for the dominance of live birth and placental nutrition. The structural diversity of the mammalian placenta is remarkable, despite sharing a single common ancestor and conserved physiological functions.

Blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) optimize foraging efficiency by balancing oxygen use and energy gain as a function of prey density

Science Advances, 2015
The world’s largest predators, blue whales, switch strategies to maximize foraging efficiency as a function of prey density and depth. Terrestrial predators can modulate the energy used for prey capture to maximize efficiency, but diving animals face the

Bifunctional Photocatalysts: Exploiting Proximity for Enhanced Reaction Performance

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This review covers the application of the bifunctional approach to photocatalysis as a means to attain (enhanced) enantioselectivity, and, more in general, as a strategy to enhance the catalytic performance through an effective use of short‐lived reaction intermediates.

Capture and killing of small cetaceans in the Faroe Islands is inhumane and offers little scope for improvement

Frontiers in Marine Science
The capture and killing of free-living small cetaceans in the Faroe Islands is described. After being driven on-shore by motor vessels, the animals are killed without pre-stunning using officially-prescribed methods that involve severing the spinal cord ...

The Evolution of Impression Management Research in Social Media: A Bibliometric Perspective

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of the present study is to investigate impression management (IM) usage by companies in the context of social media communication and emerging technologies through a comprehensive mapping of the scientific literature. In this matter, a bibliometric analysis has been conducted, extracting a sample of 262 peer‐reviewed journal ...
