• Body shape changes associated with reproductive status, nutritive condition and growth in right whales Eubalaena glacialis and E. australis (2012, methodology): “…whales, blubber thickness (an index of body fat condition) was measured (Miller et al. 2011) and the external appearance (a proxy of nutritive condition) was assessed (Pettis et al. 2004) only on the cranial region of the body, particularly between 30 and 50% of the body length from the snout.”
• Evidence for density-dependent changes in body condition and pregnancy rate of North Atlantic fin whales over four decades of varying environmental conditions (2013, methodology): “Photo- and laser-grammetric methods are being developed to generate length–girth relationships for right (Pettis et al., 2004; Miller et al., 2012), gray (Perryman and Lynn, 2002;”
• Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins in North Atlantic right whales Eubalaena glacialis and their zooplankton prey in the Bay of Fundy, Canada (2006, background): “Additionally, during the same time period, the population showed signs of worsening health, including a decline in body condition and appearance of skin lesions on many whales (Pettis et al. 2004).”
• Investigating the viability of photo-identification as an objective tool to study endangered sea turtle populations (2008, background): “fidelity, patterns of interaction, physical condition, health indicators and the impact of anthropogenic activity (Burger and Garber, 1995; Bennett et al., 1999; Pettis et al., 2004; Lusseau et al., 2006).”
