Marine Mammal EcoPhysiology group

We focus on how environmental stressors impact the physiology of marine mammals by using integrative omics approaches and molecular techniques.

NEW paper alert!! In collaboration with others, we show the feasibility of using remote blubber biopsies from baleen whales and identify the proteome to investigate biomarkers of oxidative stress and immune responses

I think we are all pretty excited to be out of these coveralls, head home, and do some serious laundry… 🐳🧦🧼

Well well well....this is cool. Ovary MRIs coming in, kickstarting some cool @UofGSBOHVM @UofGMVLS collaborative work, from investigating luteolysis processes in cetaceans to life history indicators and potential post-reproductive life stages 😎 #teamworkmakesthedreamwork @EPSRC

Why do dolphins expend so much energy on play?

Perhaps because it prepares them for the future: A new study finds that the most playful young male dolphins go on to father the most offspring.

Happy to share our latest paper about the cost of foraging in harbour porpoises! Check out the threat for details!

[Morgan McCarthy @marinemolecol]

Excited to see this work published! We propose elevating the species status of Bigg’s and resident killer whales to full species considering genetics, morphology and more!
