Long-term stability in core habitat of an endangered population of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus): Implications for spatial management

Steph Bennington et al.

Summary: A small population of bottlenose dolphins in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand faces challenging conditions and anthropogenic pressure from tourism. A management Code involving dolphin protection zones (DPZs) was established in 2008. Kernel density estimation was used to study habitat use over 13 years, revealing seasonal variations and consistency in habitat use patterns. Low overlap between core habitat and current DPZs suggests a need for expanding protected areas.

Recommendations for estimating mark rate of cetaceans inphoto-IDresearch: A critique of field sampling protocols and variance estimation

Lindsay Wickman et al.

Summary: This study discusses robust estimation of mark rate and its uncertainty in cetacean populations, finding that hierarchical Bayesian modeling performs better than frequentist variance estimators. Researchers should aim to sample as many unique groups as possible for improved accuracy and precision.

A multidecadal Bayesian trend analysis of harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) populations off California relative to past fishery bycatch

Karin A. Forney et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the long-term population trends of harbor porpoises in California and found that after the elimination of gill net impacts, the growth rates of the MOR, MRY, and SFRR stocks were 9.6%, 5.8%, and 6.1% per year respectively, with abundance in northern California stable or slightly increasing. This is the first empirical estimate of the maximum net reproductive rate for harbor porpoises.
