Spoiled with Fraser’s dolphins last week in the field in St. Vincent and the Grenadines! One of the coolest dolphins ever

So happy that this one is finally out, today in @naturecomms.bsky.social Migrating baleen whales transport nutrients from their high-latitude feeding grounds to the tropics and subtropics www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Bycatch is the greatest threat facing marine mammals globally. In the US, there have been significant efforts to reduce marine mammal bycatch. Here, we assessed trends in US bycatch for 130 stocks of 51 species from 1990 to 2017. It was published today onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A tribute to the life and legacy of our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Eric A. Ramos, who passed away last month. The article was published as an In Memoriam in the Latin American Journal of Aquatic Mammals. Here is the link to the open access article: lajamjournal.org/index.php/la...

Our WhaleAdapt project team just met in person in Ottawa. We spent two days prepping our 4y project, which investigates the effects of climate change on cetaceans and whaling in the North Atlantic. Funding: Intn’l Joint Initiative for Research in Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Competition

Back in the field in Biscayne Bay to monitor bottlenose dolphin (collab SEFSC/NOAA). This project has started in 1990 and now allows us to investigate how habitat degradation affects the ecology and behavior of this population @fiu.bsky.social

Pretty awesome sighting of Longman’s beaked whales (Indopacetus pacificus) in the Mozambique Channel, near Mayotte. So much to learn about these animals. One of the least known whale species in the world! Pictures: N. Bertrand

Excited to share that our paper on one of my favorite species is out. Dwarf sperm whales (Kogia sima) are one of most poorly known cetacean, and during our first surveys off St. Vincent and the Grenadines (E. Caribbean), we discovered that it was the most common species. doi.org/10.1016/bs.a...

Last month, we hosted the first Collaborative Science Workshop on Rice's whales in the Gulf of Mexico. 2 days of presentations, breakout room sessions and discussions to identify research priorities that will support management. A lot of work, but our 50+ participants were excited! More soon!
