In this analysis, we quantify not only the frequency of specific causes‐of‐death (CODs) among main Hawaiian Island monk seals, but also assess the impact of individual CODs on the intrinsic growth rate, λ, of this population.
The first study to describe loggerhead movements in the Gulf of California results in data suggesting that loggerhead foraging movements are performed in areas rich in levels of chlorophyll-a.
We asses the persistent organic pollutants in green turtle populations in the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge and San Diego Bay to understand the contamination risks for these populations.
This study establishes the Mariana Archipelago as a breeding area for endangered western North Pacific humpback whales, contributing to research and conservation efforts to identify all associated breeding grounds and potential threats in those locations.
To expand understanding of short‐finned pilot whale ecology in the region, we conducted small‐boat surveys in 2010−2016 within the Mariana Archipelago.
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.
Continued efforts towards mutual understanding the U.S. and Japan's differences in fishing practices and fisheries management help us better understand each other’s culture and ocean policies, to help maintain sustainable fisheries into the future.
