White Whale Optimization Algorithm

open access: yes
Swarm intelligence optimization algorithms have been widely studied in continuous optimization, combinatorial optimization, and engineering applications due to their lack of gradient information requirements, simple structure, and wide applicability. However, most existing metaheuristic algorithms are highly similar in terms of information acquisition ...

Cosmic Dust Flux During the Quaternary: The Record of Large Scoriaceous and Unmelted Micrometeorites From the Transantarctic Mountains Collection

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We estimate the cosmic dust flux to Earth through the study of rare micrometeorites that preserve part of their precursor features during atmospheric entry heating, namely unmelted and scoriaceous subtypes. Combining high‐precision mass balance measurements, X‐ray computed microtomography and scanning electron microscopy, we studied mass, size

From Gene Copies to Cell Numbers: Advancing Quantitative Approaches in Protistan Ecology Using Digital PCR

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Quantifying abundances of unicellular eukaryotes (protists) remains a central challenge in microbial ecology, as methodological differences can strongly influence abundance estimates and ecological interpretation. Although molecular tools have thus far greatly improved our understanding of protists, high rRNA gene copy numbers limit ...

A Primate‐Specific lncRNA LINC01021 Contributes to Cellular and Organismal Aging via DAZAP1‐Dependent Destabilization of RBMX

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 7, July 2026.
Primate‐specific lncRNA LINC01021 promotes aging by enhancing cellular senescence and accelerating aspects of organismal decline. Mechanistically, LINC01021 induces DAZAP1‐mediated destabilization of RBMX, activating the P53 pathway and establishing a primate‐specific regulatory axis in aging.

The International Whaling Commission and the Elusive Great White Whale of Preservationism

open access: yes, 2009
This article explores the attempts to create an global legal whaling regime and examines its underlying competing environmental norms of exploitation, conservation and preservation. It outlines a history of whaling exploitation over the centuries and tracks the development of early whaling regimes as well as examining the development of the ...

Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and

Advancing Marine Bioacoustics With Deep Generative Models: A Hybrid Augmentation Strategy for Southern Resident Killer Whale Detection

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Automated detection and classification of marine mammal vocalizations is critical for conservation and management efforts but is hindered by limited annotated datasets and the acoustic complexity of real‐world marine environments. Data augmentation has proven to be an effective strategy to address this limitation by increasing dataset ...

Spatio‐Temporal Patterns in Relative Abundance and Distribution of Southern Right Whales in Southwestern Australia, 2021–2024

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) are listed as Endangered in Australia due to past commercial exploitation. Currently, they are experiencing contemporary declines in population growth rates. Knowledge of critical periods and habitats in whale occupancy and reproduction is crucial for conservation efforts.
