#Aotearoa used to be home to 30,000 #tohorā. Today, most of the ~2000 NZ #southernrightwhales left winter in the Auckland Islands. We satellite tagged #tohora this winter and you can follow their journeys: https://t.co/BbwQgna7ue
Check out this massive effort by Commission Scientific Advisor and @NOAAFisheries scientist, Jason Baker, and his colleagues, featuring their work to recover the #endangered Hawaiian monk #seal.
Latest paper from my PhD is now out in @molecology! To investigate whether baleen whales have the genetic capacity to smell, I developed a gene mining pipeline and explored the forces shaping whale olfactory receptor evolution. Check it out here: https://t.co/ikFFMer1Hp
Our new paper on Key Biodiversity Areas in the Southern Ocean led by Sarah Becker & @cassandrafish @CUSG_Boulder is now out! Using seabird & seal tracking data from 13 spp we identify 30 KBAs for SO spatial planning & in the High Seas! 🐧🦭🇦🇶@SCAR_Tweets#RAATD@IUCN_PA#HighSeas
🌊While Port Ross in the Auckland Islands enjoys protection, many vital whale habitats in New Zealand waters remain vulnerable. Vessels are entering these critical areas more frequently than anticipated. 🎥 Animation by @AucklandUni tracks whale movements alongside vessel paths.
