Hot spots and Hot moments for whales around the global plus the consequences of the success of conservation efforts for 'ecocultural' systems. Another great keynote #ECSconference2025
Inspiring plenary from Joe Roman about 'lifting baselines' and quantifying the effects whale real red ecological pathways have on nutrient cycling and transfer in the oceans - check out his latest contribution here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #ECSconference2025 🐋🦑🧪
