ABSTRACT Understanding animal movement is at the core of ecology, evolution and conservation science. Big data approaches for tracking have facilitated impactful synthesis research on spatial biology behavior in ecologically important human-impacted regions. Similarly, databases traits (e.g. body size, limb length, locomotion method, lifespan) been used a wide range comparative questions, with emerging being shared level individuals populations. Here, we argue that proliferation both types...
Bioenergetic approaches are increasingly used to understand how marine mammal populations could be affected by a changing and disturbed aquatic environment. There remain considerable gaps in our knowledge of bioenergetics, which hinder the application bioenergetic studies inform policy decisions. We conducted priority-setting exercise identify high-priority unanswered questions with an emphasis on relevant conservation management. Electronic communication virtual workshop were solicit...

Studies of animal morphology inform our understanding many combined aspects biology, including thermal ecology, biomechanics and energetics. that accurately describe the size shape marine mammals, for example, can be particularly useful in challenges an endotherm faces when moving thermoregulating aquatic environment. The relationship between surface area (SA) volume (V) plays a key role energetics thermoregulation locomotion, but detailed morphometric measurements mammals are often limited....
Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to determine if marine mammals follow ecogeographic rules. We examined Bergmann's rule and Allen's in two pilot whale species with contrasting latitudinal distributions. Location Northwest Atlantic Ocean. Taxon Globicephala spp. Methods analysed morphometric data collected from strandings short‐ long‐finned whales the Ocean assess intraspecific interspecific variation surface area volume ratios (SA:V) body core appendage relative SA (normalized SA)...
Marine mammal body composition has been an important tool that is used as a proxy for the health and condition of individuals within population. Common bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) influenced by variations in blubber thickness resulting from changes temperature, prey availability, health, life-history traits. We examined how environmental, ontogenetic, reproductive variables common dolphins Sarasota Bay using data collected long-term monitoring project Dolphin Research Program...
Expansive study areas, such as those used by highly-mobile species, provide numerous logistical challenges for researchers. Community science initiatives have been proposed a means of overcoming some these but often suffer from low uptake or limited long-term participation rates. Nevertheless, there are many places where the public has much higher visitation rate than do field Here we demonstrate passive collecting community data sourcing ecological image digital public, who act “eco-social...
Abstract Short‐finned pilot whales ( Globicephala macrorhynchus ) experience dramatic changes in temperature during deep dives, but studies of whale habitat use typically rely solely on surface measurements. We quantified vertically integrated thermal for short‐finned using a novel metric, degree‐hours, developed data from digital acoustic recording tags (DTAGs) deployed off Cape Hatteras along with interpolated profiles at depth the Met Office Hadley Centre EN4 oceanographic set. then...
