This paper explores new macroscopical, microscopical and topographical anatomical characteristics of the hourglass dolphin (L. cruciger) and spectacled porpoise (P. dioptrica)
We describe a qualitative, first-pass risk assessment of selected climate hazards for marine mammals around New Zealand. Under a business-as-usual emissions mitigation scenario, projected changes to the New Zealand environment by the end of this century include: a greater than 3oC increase in sea surface temperatures relative to pre-industrial leve...
Social media content is increasingly being validated and used as a valuable source of data within conservation science. Metadata obtained from social networking sites (SNS) can supplement knowledge and data gaps in traditional ecological monitoring programs by increasing the spatiotemporal extent of sampling. Here we consider SNS in the context of...
Cetacean strandings provide important opportunities to extend current knowledge on species or populations, particularly for species that are notoriously difficult to study such as sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus; parāoa). Between 25 May and 9 June 2018, 13 male sperm whales stranded in Taranaki, Aotearoa New Zealand, with an additional male st...
We use the publicly available database of Hector's and Māui dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori hectori and Cephalorhynchus hectori maui, respectively) mortalities and incidents to investigate seasonal trends in major causes of death and look at demographic distribution of mortalities and seasonal carcass detection probability.
Conservation monitoring of highly mobile species in relatively inaccessible habitats presents a considerable challenge to wildlife biologists. Effective conservation strategies require knowledge of cetacean ecology that is often challenging and expensive to obtain. Despite their caveats, stranding data represent an underused resource to study the l...
