sampley: A Python package for sampling visual survey data

Jonathan Syme, Daniel E. Pendleton, Erin L. Meyer‐Gutbrod, Benjamin Tupper et autres

Abstract Visual surveys are a common method of obtaining data for ecological studies, including studies that develop models (e.g. species distribution models). In the case of transect or non‐transect line surveys, data must often be partitioned into spatiotemporal units (i.e. samples) before …

Individual movement modeling expands the power of migratory species observations: North Atlantic right whale case study

Abigail Kreuser, Daniel E. Pendleton, Nicholas R. Record, Erin L. Meyer‐Gutbrod

Abstract Understanding a population's distribution depends on observing the presence and movement of individuals throughout their range. For highly mobile marine species, these observations typically rely on high effort monitoring programs. Tracking enough individuals to understand trends in movement behavior is not …

Ecology and life history of baleen whales inform climate change vulnerabilities and priorities for future monitoring

Lesley H. Thorne, Erin L. Meyer‐Gutbrod

Abstract Baleen whales are key consumers in marine habitats that serve as vectors of nutrients, but their populations have been slow to recover from past commercial whaling due to their low reproductive rates and ongoing anthropogenic threats. Climate impacts have become central …

Localized and temporary vessel traffic changes from offshore wind development on the US East Coast pose limited risk to large whales

Ana L. Bishop, Erin L. Meyer‐Gutbrod, Douglas P. Nowacek, Andrew J. Read

The rapid expansion of offshore wind development along the east coast of the USA has raised concern over its potential effects on large whales, especially the Critically Endangered North Atlantic right whale. This study examines changes in vessel traffic associated with offshore …

The combined effects of multiple stressors in an endangered, long‐lived species: Lessons learned and ways forward

Enrico Pirotta, Peter Lloyd Tyack, Jeffrey Adams, Michael J. Asaro et autres

Exploring solutions to expanding industrial activities and climate change requires assessments of the combined effects of multiple stressors on wildlife populations. We present a spatially explicit state-space model for the health, survival, reproduction, and somatic growth of individuals in a long-lived, wide-ranging …

How Robust is Eschrichtius robustus ? A Novel Photographic Index of Body Condition From Boat‐Based Photographs of Gray Whales

Kira A. Telford, John A. Calambokidis, Kiirsten Flynn, J. D. Witt et autres

ABSTRACT Although the eastern North Pacific gray whale ( Eschrichtius robustus ) population has recovered from population declines associated with whaling, they are closely monitored, especially in association with Unusual Mortality Events. Metrics to improve assessment of the health of individual animals, …

Evaluation of a Deep Learning-Based Algorithmic Pipeline for Real-Time Onboard Removal of Glider Self-Noise from Passive Acoustic Data

Anna Hu, Guoming Li, Erin L. Meyer‐Gutbrod, Catherine Edwards

Gliders are autonomous underwater vehicles that move by changing their buoyancy and center of gravity, making them a relatively quiet and thus attractive platform for collecting passive acoustic data for many applications, including soundscape/fisheries management, real-time monitoring of endangered whales, and acoustic …

Glider Surveillance for Near-Real-Time Detection and Spatial Management of North Atlantic Right Whales

Katherine L. Indeck, Mark F. Baumgartner, Laurence Lecavalier, Frederick G. Whoriskey et autres

Successful area-based ocean management relies on long-term, persistent biological monitoring using reliable ocean observation assets. Underwater electric gliders fill a unique monitoring niche compared to other platforms because they can autonomously survey across diverse environments—from shallow coastal waters to remote offshore areas—for …

From Wind to Whales: Potential Hydrodynamic Impacts of Offshore Wind Energy on Nantucket Shoals Regional Ecology

Eileen E. Hofmann, Jeffrey R. Carpenter, Qin Chen, Josh T. Kohut et autres

The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a committee in June 2023 to assess the potential hydrodynamic and ecological impacts from offshore wind energy development in the Nantucket Shoals region, with particular attention to impacts on the critically endangered North …

Community Recommendations on Belonging, Accessibility, Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Initiatives in Ocean Sciences: A Town Hall Discussion

Sarah Clem, Katherine K. Gallagher, Erin L. Meyer‐Gutbrod, Amadi Sefah-Twerefour et autres

During the 2024 Ocean Sciences Meeting (OSM24), The Oceanography Society’s Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee hosted a town hall on “Scientific Societies’ Roles in Building Inclusive Communities.” The town hall aimed to assess ongoing efforts to improve belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, …
