The use of photography to discriminate between individuals in a population using natural
markings or aberrations is increasingly being utilized to support field research on …

Besides the familiar D-branes, string theory contains a vast number of other non-perturbative
objects. While a complete classification is lacking, many of these objects are related to each …

Despite their interest and threat status, the number of whales in world's oceans remains

The design of ecological networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) is generally based on
the identification of areas of high abundance for species of conservation concern or focal …

Distribution maps of cetaceans and seabirds at basin and monthly scales are needed for
conservation and marine management. These are usually created from standardized and …

The size and structure of a photographically identified population of reef manta ray, Manta
alfredi, were examined at aggregation sites over a four-year period in southern …

Knowledge of abundance, trends and distribution of cetacean populations is needed to
inform marine conservation efforts, ecosystem models and spatial planning. We compiled a …

Abstract The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis), has
experienced rapid declines in recent decades. We estimate its abundance based on surveys …

In recent years there has been significant interest in modelling cumulative effects and the
population consequences of individual changes in cetacean behaviour and physiology due …

With global increases in anthropogenic pressures on wildlife populations comes a
responsibility to manage them effectively. The assessment of marine ecosystem health is …
