Marine mammal conservation: over the horizon (2021, background): “…et al. 2015, Seymour et al. 2017, Angliss et al. 2018, McIntosh et al. 2018), assess size and body condition (Durban et al. 2015, Sweeney et al. 2015, Christiansen et al. 2018, Allan et al. 2019), monitor vital signs (Horton et al. 2019), study respiratory microbiomes and virology (Apprill et al.…”
Population comparison of right whale body condition reveals poor state of the North Atlantic right whale (2020, methodology): “Christiansen et al. (2018) showed that the body volume of lactating SRW females at the time they give birth will determine the amount of energy they invest in their calves (i.e. the rate of decline in maternal body volume), and consequently calf growth rates (i.e. rate of increase in calf body…”
