Coastal ecosystems have drastically declined in coverage and condition across the globe. To combat these losses, marine conservation has recently employed habitat restoration as a strategy to enhance depleted coastal ecosystems. For be successful enterprise, however, it is necessary identify address potential knowledge gaps review whether field tracked scientific advances regarding best practices. This enables managers, researchers, practitioners alike more readily establish priorities...
Cuvier's beaked whales exhibit exceptionally long and deep foraging dives. The species is little studied due to their deep-water, offshore distribution limited time spent at the surface. We used LIMPET satellite tags study diving behaviour of off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina from 2014 2016. deployed 11 tags, recording 3242 h data, encompassing 5926 Dive types were highly bimodal; dives (greater than 800 m,
ABSTRACT We analysed 3680 dives from 23 satellite-linked tags deployed on Cuvier's beaked whales to assess the relationship between long duration and inter-deep dive intervals estimate aerobic limit (ADL). The median of presumed foraging was 59 min 5% exceeded 77.7 min. found no longest durations following interval nor any with ventilation period immediately prior or a dive. suggest that have low metabolic rates, high oxygen storage capacities acid-buffering capacity deal by-products both...
Abstract Within-species variation in social structure has attracted interest recently because of the potential to explore phenotypic plasticity and, specifically, how demographic and ecological influence structure. Populations bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops spp.) vary male alliance formation, from no alliances simple pairs to, Shark Bay, Western Australia, most complex nested known outside humans. Examination contributions this is complicated by differences among populations other...
Studies of deep-diving beaked whales using Argos satellite-linked location-depth tags frequently return data with large gaps in the diving record. We document steps taken to eliminate these and collect weeks continuous time series for a behavioral response study that took place 2017. used baseline collected from 2014 2016 analyze message diagnostics, assess our current programming schedule multiple criteria decision making matrix (MCDM), as robust way develop new sampling regime.

Abstract Male Indo‐pacific bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay, Western Australia, have converged with humans the formation of nested male alliances and use synchrony alliance behavior. Further, strength association among allied varies stability correlates rate that males consort estrus females (and is thus a possible indicator dominance). To examine possibility reflects dominance relationships, we analyzed videotapes from focal follows two groups reflect range size between individuals...
Abstract Southern hemisphere blue ( Balaenoptera musculus intermedia ) and fin physalus whales are the largest predators in Ocean, with similarities morphology distribution. Yet, understanding of their life history foraging is limited due to current low abundances ecological data. To address these gaps, historic Antarctic n = 5) whale baleen plates, collected 1947–1948 recently rediscovered Smithsonian National Museum Natural History, were analyzed for bulk (δ 13 C δ 15 N) stable isotopes....
On November 1, 2023, the American Ornithological Society (AOS), announced it would "change all English bird names currently named after people within its geographic jurisdiction" (AOS, 2023). The AOS President, Dr. Colleen Handel, noted that "there is power in a name, and some have associations with past continue to be exclusionary harmful today" Common are important because they used identify communicate effectively about species amongst scientific broader community. As by these also carry...
Abstract Background Older surgical patients have an increased risk for postoperative complications, driving up healthcare costs. We determined if co‐management of older surgery is associated with outcomes and hospital Methods Retrospective data were collected ≥70 years old undergoing colorectal at a community teaching hospital. Patient compared between those receiving care through the Optimization Senior Care Recovery (OSCAR) program controls who received standard care. Main outcome measures...
Abstract Studies of the social behavior Cuvier's beaked whales ( Ziphius cavirostris ) are challenging because their deep‐water habitat usually far from shore and limited time they spend at surface. The sociality these deepest diving mammals is interest, however, especially for our understanding how systems evolve in extreme habitats. High levels scarring suggest that males compete agonistically access to females so we predicted associations among adult would be unstable due competitive...
Abstract Background Animal-borne telemetry instruments (tags) have greatly advanced our understanding of species that are challenging to observe. Recently, non-recoverable attached cetaceans increased in use, but these devices limitations data transmission bandwidth. We analyze trade-offs the longevity, resolution, and continuity records from satellite-linked tags on deep-diving Ziphius cavirostris context a behavioral response study acute noise exposure. present one collection programming...
Abstract Background As levels of anthropogenic noise in the marine environment rise, it is crucial to quantify potential associated effects on mammals. Yet measuring responses challenging because most species spend majority their time submerged. Consequently, much sub-surface behavior difficult or impossible observe and can be determine if—during following an exposure sound—an observed dive differs from previously recorded dives. We propose a method for initial assessment behavioral during...
Marine mammals are known to respond various human noises, including and in certain cases, strongly, military active sonar. Responses include small short-term changes diving behavior, horizontal avoidance of an ensonified area, mass strandings. Considerable research has been conducted using biologging tags understand these responses. Yet researchers managers want a better understanding responses sound over longer periods time variety contexts. The Atlantic Behavioral Response Study examines...
