North Pacific right whales (Eubalaena japonica) were extensively exploited in the 19th century, and their recovery was further retarded (severely so eastern population) by illegal Soviet catches 20th primarily 1960s. Monthly plots of whale sightings from both centuries are provided, using data summarised Scarff (1991, charts Matthew Fontaine Maury) Brownell et al. (2001), respectively. Right had an extensive offshore distribution common areas (such as Gulf Alaska Sea Japan) where few or no...
Abstract Vessel strikes are a critical threat to endangered North Atlantic right whales ( Eubalaena glacialis ), significantly contributing their elevated mortality. Accurate estimates of these mortality rates essential for developing effective management strategies aid in the species’ recovery. This study enhances existing vessel strike models by incorporating detailed regional data on traffic characteristics as well whale distribution and behavior. Our model assesses spatial temporal...

Methods to evaluate strategies reduce the risk of vessels striking whales are needed balance species protections with economic consequences. Previously used simplistic methods do not include important elements vessel-strike risk. More complex often parameters that have been estimated for whales. Additionally, whale and vessel metrics in all because they may lead biases reductions. We build a simple metric, Total PLETHd, from three components: (1) relationship between speed probability strike...
Vessel strikes are a substantial source of mortality for large whales worldwide and may pose conservation threats small populations. Model-based estimates rates, which inform management strategies to reduce vessel strike mortality, typically assume reduced likelihood that whale-vessel collision will be lethal the whale at slower speeds. In this study, we reviewed updated available data on observed interactions in U.S. waters developed new model characterizing probability an interaction as...
Despite many years of study and protection, the North Atlantic right whale ( Eubalaena glacialis ) remains on brink extinction. There is a crucial gap in our understanding their habitat use migratory corridor along eastern seaboard United States. Here, we characterize suitability migrating whales relation to depth, distance shore, recently enacted ship speed regulations near major ports. We find that range suitable exceeds previous estimates that, as compared with 20 nautical mile buffer,...
On 2 July 2015, the killing of a lion nicknamed “Cecil” prompted largest global reaction in history wildlife conservation. In response to this, it is propitious consider ways which this moment can be developed into financial movement transform conservation species such as that hold cultural significance and sentiment but whose numbers wild are dwindling dangerously. This provocative piece explores how royalty could used effectively by drawing revenue from heavy symbolic use charismatic...
We agree with Batavia et al. (2018) that conservationists should think more critically about trophy hunting. On pragmatic and ethical grounds, they argue tolerance of hunting in the interests conservation is misguided. They find collection trophies especially disquieting. suggest insight can be gained from considering wider context to aspects their exploration. Firstly, authors begin by limiting (although this broadened later) perspective "Western" hunters (North Americans Europeans) paying...
Ivory in art museum collections has been a contentious topic during recent years, with some parties calling for its destruction. But analysis of media reactions to the parallel strategy burning modern ivory stockpiles may offer insight likely effectiveness that course action museums: such burns have seemingly fallen short sending clear and enduring message intended demographics—be this consumers, dealers, poachers or traffickers. This prompts us suggest an alternative destruction ivory:...
