🐬 Fraser’s dolphins in the Caribbean turn out to be the ultimate social networkers, swimming with other species 83% of the time while island-hopping across 229km of ocean.

🚨 NEW PAPER 🚨 We show that during warm, low-ice years in the Canadian Arctic, ringed seals exhibit thinner blubber, depleted fatty acids, and elevated metabolic stress. We also show that high PCB and mercury levels contribute to oxidative damage in the liver.
Climate variations and a local PCB hotspot have altered metabolomic profiles in ringed seals
Environmental contaminants and climate change pose ongoing threats to Arctic marine mammals, yet their combined physiological impacts remain poorly un…

A new and exciting @nature.com Communications study reveals baleen whales operate the planet's largest nutrient transport system, moving tons of nitrogen and carbon from polar feeding grounds to tropical breeding areas. Great job @jjkiszka.bsky.social and coauthors ✨

Today, hundreds of NOAA employees lost their jobs. It’s heartbreaking. It feels like a gut punch to my American friends who didn’t choose this, to those of us relying on federal grants to protect our oceans, and to every researcher now caught in this mess through no fault of their own.

New research reveals the extraordinary energy demands of humpback whale mothers, who travel over 3,000 miles without food to birth and nourish their 2,600-pound calves, a feat now further imperiled by climate change and marine heatwaves disrupting their critical food supply.

Still thinking about this big boi, A61, visiting Howe Sound last week. Him and the A42s were far out but it was still magical to see them swing by.

Did you know killer whale poo is green? @anaisremili.bsky.social has been working with some precious samples for a metabolomics project. She told us the shades vary from green-brownish to bright green.

My newest infographic for Whale Scientists 💙
Ever wondered how scientists identify sperm whales? Traditionally, it’s all about capturing photos of their tail flukes when they dive. But what if the whales don’t dive? Enter drones: a game-changer in marine mammal research.

Hello Bluesky!
My name is Anna and I’m a PhD researcher at the University of Iceland and the Icelandic Orca Project. I like whales 🐳 and sound 🎵 and all things marine 🌊. I am very happy that the science community seems to have found a new platform and am looking forward to connecting with you all!

Hi 🦋, I'm a PhD candidate soon to finish on the evolutionary ecology of Australasian killer whales in Aus 🇦🇺. I dabble mostly in pop/evolutionary genomics, trophic and nutritional ecology of marine predators 🧬🧪👩🏻🔬

Hi 🦋, I’m a French postdoc researcher in Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 I study the impact of contaminants like pesticides and flame retardants on the health of marine mammals, particularly killer whales. I did my PhD on the diet and contaminant risks in North Atlantic killer whales.
