Marine Mammals as Sentinel Species for Oceans and Human Health (2011, background): “In the past 20 years, dedicated marine mammal research has resulted in an increase in reporting of marine mammal disease.(90) At the same time, the appearance of true emerging and reemerging diseases in marine mammals is also suggested historically and by the scientific literature.”
Status of the world's baleen whales (2016, background): “While the cause of this second event was not determined, two kinds of biotoxin—saxitoxin and domoic acid—were detected in a few of the humpback whales examined (Gulland and Hall 2007).”
A novel non‐invasive tool for disease surveillance of free‐ranging whales and its relevance to conservation programs (2010, background): “It is quickly becoming apparent that we need to develop patho- gen- and disease-monitoring tools for free-ranging cetaceans (Gulland & Hall 2007), particularly if we wish to have a more complete understanding of the factors that can drive population declines and affect their conservation (Smith et…”
An Economical Custom-Built Drone for Assessing Whale Health (2017, background): “There are widespread concerns about the health of marine mammal populations in the face of global anthropogenic stressors (Gulland and Hall, 2007).”
