Anthropogenic activities in the oceans are expanding (Halpern et al., 2019; O’Hara, Frazier & Halpern, 2021) and various stressors are responsible for pollution (from contaminants, plastics or noise, among others) and biodiversity loss (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, 2018; European Commission, Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, 2023).

Combining passive acoustic data from a towed hydrophone array with visual line transect data to estimate abundance and availability bias of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus)

|
By Franklin EC, Taylor BL, Francis TB, Wade PR
| PeerJ
In this study, we explored the challenges of combining PAM towed array data with VLT survey data when the surveys are conducted simultaneously and developed a statistical framework to estimate abundance and surface availability bias. In particular, we focused on the challenge of correcting for duplicate detections. Using simulations and a case study of sperm whales, we explored several methods that range in complexity and data requirements.

PHFinder: assisted detection of point heteroplasmy in Sanger sequencing chromatograms

|
By Taylor BL, Wade PR, Reid RJ, Stewart JB
| PeerJ
PHFinder was developed to assist the detection of point heteroplasmies in large data sets. The program automates a first pass of the data, reducing the number of AB1 files that need to be visually inspected. Although PHFinder detected most of the point heteroplasmies present in the dataset (95.3%), the present analysis revealed some limitations.
