Using Environmental DNA Surveys to Assess Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) Presence in Mississippi and Louisiana
… individual. Locations of <em>C. mydas</em> strandings were also compared to locations of eDNA sampling sites. Zero eDNA field samples met any of the three criteria defined for positive samples, but the <em>in-situ</em> sample met all three positive criteria. The rare occurrence of <em>C. …

Drift modelling of marine mammal carcases in coastal waters
… the reverse problem for known-location mass strandings to highlight potential at-sea mortality sites. The drift properties of carcase-like objects were assessed in at-sea experiments. Wave transport was found to be greater than Stokes drift alone and in a complex coastal area could not be …

An investigation of the roles of geomagnetic and acoustic cues in whale navigation and orientation
… sonar exercises have been linked to beaked whale strandings, and identifying whether these are the result of a mistaken predator avoidance reaction may help prevent future strandings.

Modelagem de fratura dúctil em colisão de embarcações utilizando modelo de dano de Lemaitre modificado
… study of accidents involving ship collisions and strandings has led to the development of different methodologies, and to simulate numerically the material’s ductile fracture, several failure criteria have been applied. With this perspective, thi3s article considers a new approach for the …

Whales & Wind: A Case Study on Misinformation About Renewable Energy Development
… between offshore wind activities and whale strandings in New Jersey. Through interviews with these stakeholders and an analysis of media representations, this thesis delineates how the misinformation spread—namely through unsound claims, emotional appeals, and the collective power of …

Alterações morfológicas e patológicas em esqueletos de boto-cinza Sotalia fluviatilis (Gervais, 1853) do litoral do Estado do Rio de Janeiro
… in institutional collections that resulted from strandings and incidental caught on fisheries along the coast of Rio de Janeiro. This research had the objective of identify the bony changes and relate its frequency considering sex, age, size, physical maturity, presence by vertebral column region …

A Theoretical Approach To Assessing Annual Energy Balance In Gray Whales (eschrichtius Robustus)
… food shortages leading to a surge in gray whale strandings.

Systematics of cetaceans using restriction site mapping of mitochondrial DNA
… primarily opportunistically obtained (i.e. from strandings or accidental death in commercial trawl nets) heart tissue generally yielded high quantities of mtDNA which is needed for double digest fragment analysis. The mtDNA extracted from the sampled taxa was cleaved with fifteen different …

Biology & ecology of a killer whale (Orcinus orca) community that interacts with pelagic trawlers in the Northeast Atlantic
… epithelial samples collected from killer whale strandings around Scotland and Ireland, and from biopsies taken from the mackerel fishery killer whales. As part of the genetic analysis, individuals that were successfully genotyped, were entered into a large pre-existing North Atlantic killer …

The foraging ecology of minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in Northeast Scottish waters using stable isotope analysis
The marine environment is undergoing rapid change, impacting the entire food web. Monitoring the ecology of trophic factions that utilise the ecosystem resources is therefore crucial in tracking change and assessing its key drivers. Baleen whales, as mid-trophic level predators, are indicator …
