Density and Abundance of Cetaceans in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Based on a Spatial/Temporal Analysis of 1986–2006 Line-Transect Surveys
1 Introduction The bycatch of dolphins in the tuna purse seine fishery of the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) was one of the major motivations for establishing the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) in the United States (Roman et al. 2013) and resulted in one of the largest marine conservation projects in history (Perrin 2009; Ballance et al. 2021).
Drone-based assessment of humpback and fin whale vessel-strike vulnerability
Abstract Collisions with vessels (vessel-strikes) are one of the largest threats to the recoveries of baleen whale populations worldwide. Vessel-strike vulnerability is complex, depending on a vessels size and speed, and the presence, position, visibility, and movement of whales. To date, discrete behaviour states have not been considered in strike risk analyses.
Clinical sequelae of gut microbiome development and disruption in hospitalized preterm infants
In Figure 1D of the originally published article, diamonds indicating the number of preterm infants with metagenomically detected species forandwere incorrect. The article has been updated online and the correct version appears in print. The authors regret the error.
Clinical sequelae of gut microbiome development and disruption in hospitalized preterm infants
Highlights • Antibiotics and non-antibiotic drugs govern infant gut microbiome development • Antibiotic-associated microbial shifts introduce pathogens and resistance • Hospitalized preterm infants share isogenic C. difficile and S. epidermidis • Microbial development stagnates before late-onset necrotizing enterocolitis Summary Aberrant preterm infant gut microbiota assembly predisposes to early-life disorders and persistent health problems.
Collecting baleen whale blow samples by drone: A minimally intrusive tool for conservation genetics
1 INTRODUCTION As recognized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Earth's biodiversity needs to be conserved across three levels: genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity (Frankham, 1995). It is a given that these are not mutually exclusive, and major threats to biodiversity, such as overexploitation, habitat loss and anthropogenic climate change, can have profound and lasting effects across all three tiers (Frankham, 1995; Rockström et al., 2009).
Longitudinal passive cough monitoring and its implications for detecting changes in clinical status
Analysis Participants with <1 h of recording data were excluded from all further analysis. To compare the capacity of 24-h monitoring with longitudinal records to detect changes in cough frequency, a randomisation routine was used to simulate the data that would have been obtained by monitoring two participants for a 24-h period.

Why Are Blue Whales So Gigantic?
“We are truly living in a time of giants.” Lofty language like this doesn’t happen often in scientific literature. But the person who wrote them, biologist Jeremy Goldbogen, understands: When it comes to writing about whales, the scale and mystery of their lives can be difficult to overstate. For the past two decades, Goldbogen and his network of collaborators have been piecing together a puzzle: Whales are the largest animals to have ever lived—but why?
HDR statement on coronavirus

Lester, Managing Editor HDR statement on coronavirus HDR, an engineering, architecture, environmental and construction services company is familiar to many railroaders. Like most companies, they have issued a statement on how they’re dealing with coronavirus. Here is their statement, published a few days ago.
In British Columbia, a strange pattern in humpback whale behaviour raises the stakes for conservation
In a fjord system of northern British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province, a team of scientists, non-profits and an indigenous monitoring group have uncovered a curious humpback whale behaviour. Dubbed the “whale wave”, it suggests local displacement of the animals caused by humans may have more consequences than previously thought. By “wave”, researchers mean a seasonal shift in the habitats used by humpbacks.
