Snailfish flyer This poster was used for a contest to suggest names for three new snailfish species from the Mariana Islands. Students from elementary and high schools in Guam’s Marine Mania program participated in the program’s FishBowl contests. FishBowl is an annual academic challenge focusing on all things marine and open to all schools in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Scientists selected two of the names entered by students. The third species was named after the Mariana Islands. Poster credit: Marine Mania/Linda Tatreau of Marine Mania.

What’s Left Before Participatory Modeling Can Fully Support Real-World Environmental Planning Processes: A Case Study Review

Despite the use of environmental participatory modeling (PM) in decision making and that many PM case studies have been published, few efforts have sought to systematically describe and understand dominant PM processes or establish best practices for PM.

Where Do You Think You’re Going? Population Assessment Models

Understanding spatial population structure and biocomplexity is critical. Integrated population models have been slow to incorporate spatial dynamics, therefore, we implemented a spatial simulation framework to explore impact and distributional shifts.

Whistle Classification of Sympatric False Killer Whale Populations in Hawaiian Waters Yields Low Accuracy Rates

In the Hawaiian Archipelago, three genetically distinct false killer whale populations coexist. Researchers investigated whether their whistles could be used to identify populations in acoustic recordings when genetic or photographic-identification data are unavailable.
