Killer whales are apex predators with distributions that vary across the world’s oceans. Their ecology and behaviour remain poorly understood in many regions due to limited research, especially in remote areas. Around the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands (PEIs) in the Southern Ocean, killer whales exhibit seasonal vocalising patterns that align with prey availability and social …
The Gulf of Eilat, Israel’s coral reefs, are some of the world’s most biologically diverse marine environments. These ecosystems provide essential ecological functions, including food provision, storm protection, and supporting tourism. However, like many reefs globally, the coral reefs in Eilat have experienced significant declines in recent decades. Local stressors such as pollution, overfishing, coastal …
In the icy waters of Alaska, the Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) plays a vital role in maintaining the region’s ecosystem. This fish species serves as a crucial prey item for seabirds, marine mammals, and fish, many of which are significant to Inuit communities. However, as the Arctic experiences dramatic environmental changes due to climate change, …
The Burrunan dolphin (Tursiops australis) is critically endangered, with fewer than 300 individuals left. Found only in Port Phillip Bay and Gippsland Lakes, Victoria, Australia, these dolphins face serious threats from noise pollution, vessel traffic, and environmental changes. Without urgent conservation efforts, their extinction is imminent. The Marine Mammals Foundation (MMF) leads the charge to …
Antillean manatees are large herbivorous marine mammals inhabiting the shallow waters of the Atlantic Ocean side of the Americas, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. In this collaboration, the focal populations are those in Belize and Mexico. Due to historical exploitation and human impacts such as habitat development and boat traffic, they are endangered …
Humpback Whales in the southwestern Indian Ocean undertake annual migrations in summer from the Antarctic/Southern Ocean feeding grounds into winter breeding grounds in the tropical and sub-tropical coastal waters of Mozambique, classified as the C1 Breeding Stocks. Humpback Whales are considered to possess one of the most complex acoustic repertoires among Baleen whales, as male …
