The Earth's climate is warming, especially in the mid- and high latitudes of Northern Hemisphere. northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) breeds haul-outs on islands mainland Baja California, Mexico, U.S.A. At beginning 21st century, numbers seals California are increasing, but status populations unknown, some data suggest they may be decreasing. We hypothesize that population experiencing a decline because animals not migrating as far south due to warming sea air temperatures. Here...
Abstract Coastal habitats are crucial to pinnipeds for resting, molting, and reproduction. We examined terrestrial habitat preferences of four pinniped species (California sea lion, Guadalupe fur seal, harbor northern elephant seal) on the islands off western coast Baja California Peninsula, Mexico. Boat‐based surveys were conducted while circumnavigating 10 or archipelagos during summer winter in 2009 2010. Habitat selection was inferred based generalized linear models using animal counts...
As sperm whales are important predators that control energy flux in the oceans, changes their population can be used as a sentinel to measure of ecosystem health. The present study conducted whale survey eastern Midriff Islands Region Gulf California over course nine years, recording sightings and collecting photographs fluke individuals. A photo-identification catalog was compiled, while individual recapture data were estimate size central portion California, using Jolly-Seber POPAN open...
Community marine reserves are geographical areas closed to fishing activities, implemented and enforced by the same fishermen that fish around them. Their main objective is recover commercial stocks of invertebrates. While have proven successful in many parts world, their success near important predator colonies, such as California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) Pacific harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardii), yet be analyzed. In response concerns expressed local about impact presence...
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to transform interventions and activities from on-site virtual formats. At the moment, it is not clear how long events will remain virtual, or extent which our community adjust simply continue hold meetings virtually rather than ask people travel for in-person meetings. It likely that we have all experienced online thought were planned as well they could been. Most of probably hosted such events. Thus, would like share some lessons learned while organizing...
