Context:Â Previous research has shown the presence of an endangered humpback whale population breeding off the Pacific coast of Central America.
Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) commonly form larger congregations at haul out locations during times of rest and pupping season, but
Large marine mammals can serve as an indicator of the overall state of the environment due to their apex position
Rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis) have a global tropical and subtropical distribution with oceanic, neritic, and island-associated populations. To inform conservation
Microparticles, such as microplastics and microfibers, are ubiquitous in marine food webs. Filter-feeding megafauna may be at extreme risk of
Human noise can be harmful to sound-centric marine mammals. Significant research has focused on characterizing behavioral responses of protected cetacean species
We describe the development and application of a new convolutional neural network-based photo-identification algorithm for individual humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has proven a powerful tool for the study of marine mammals, allowing for documentation of biologically

Despite their enormous size, whales make their living as voracious predators. To catch their much smaller, more maneuverable prey, they
