Looking for a software to analyse shallow dive recordings from TDRs
by Rie Hagihara 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

To whom it may concern, I have just started working on dugong diving behaviour at James Cook University, Australia and am looking for a software which can produce dive profiles based on dive recordings from the time depth recorders Mk8 (Wildlife Computers). We are thinking to use Multitrace (Jansen Software Systems) but also trying to find alternative software to analyse dive data. As dugongs are frequent in shallow intertidal and subtidal waters, we have an issue of having numerous spikes on the profiles. It would be wonderful if someone could suggest a software that might work for shallow dive recordings. I am looking forward to hearing from your suggestions. Best regards, Rie Hagihara Master of Applied Science School of Earth and Environmental Science James Cook University, Australia 4811 +61 7 4781 6940 rie.hagihara(a)jcu.edu.au

Gorgone, D.J. McSweeney, A.D. Ligon, M.H. Deakos, D.L. Webster, G.S. Schorr, K.K. Martien, D.R. Salden, and S.D. Mahaffy. Population structure of island-associated dolphins: evidence from photo-identification of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the main Hawaiian Islands. Marine Mammal Science. DOI: 10.1111/j.1748-7692.2008.00257.x Abstract Management agencies often use geopolitical boundaries as proxies for biological boundaries. In Hawaiian waters a single stock is recognized of common bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, a species that is found both in open water and near-shore among the main Hawaiian Islands. To assess population structure, we photo-identified 336 distinctive individuals from the main Hawaiian Islands, from 2000-2006. Their generally shallow-water distribution, and numerous within-year and between-year re-sightings within island-areas suggest that individuals are resident to the islands, rather than part of an offshore population moving through the area. Comparisons of identifications obtained from Kaua'i/Ni'ihau, O'ahu, the "4-island area", and the island of Hawai'i showed no evidence of movements among these island groups, although movements from Kaua'i to Ni'ihau and among the "4-islands" were documented. A Bayesian analysis examining the probability of missing movements among island groups, given our sample sizes for different areas, indicates that inter-island movement rates are less than 1% per year with 95% probability. Our results suggest the existence of multiple demographically-independent populations of island-associated common bottlenose dolphins around the main Hawaiian islands.

Abstract: Diversity of deep-water cetaceans and global warming
by hwhitehe＠dal.ca 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

The following paper has recently been published: Whitehead, H., B. McGill and B. Worm. 2008. Diversity of deep- water cetaceans in relation to temperature: implications for ocean warming. Ecology Letters 11: 1198-1207. Abstract: Understanding the effects of natural environmental variation on biodiversity can help predict response to future anthropogenic change. Here we analyse a large, long-term data set of sightings of deep-water cetaceans from the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Seasonal and geographic changes in the diversity of these genera are well predicted by a convex function of sea- surface temperature peaking at c. 21 oC. Thus, diversity is highest at intermediate latitudes an emerging general pattern for the pelagic ocean. When applied to a range of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change global change scenarios, the predicted response is a decline of cetacean diversity across the tropics and increases at higher latitudes. This suggests that deep-water oceanic communities that dominate > 60% of the planet's surface may reorganize in response to ocean warming, with low-latitude losses of diversity and resilience.

ACS Conference - Extended Early Bird Registration
by Diane Alps (ACS) 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Whales in a Changing World American Cetacean Society's 11th International Conference November 13-16, 2008 Monterey Bay, CA **With a Gray Whale and Climate Change Symposium following on Monday, November 17** . Early Bird Deadline has been extended to October 31st! There's still time to register and save! . We've also just added special One-Day and Half-Day rates! . Last call for Photo Contest Entries! Deadline is October 31st (See details below) Tell your friends, co-workers, fellow students and anyone who has a passion for whales! We're pleased to announce that the 11th International ACS Conference will be held November 13-17, 2008, in Monterey Bay, California. American Cetacean Society conferences have a long tradition of presenting the latest findings and news about whales and other marine life. We also work to promote discussion and thought about the role and conservation of whales in an ever-changing world, and leave attendees motivated to work together for the good of the whales. American Cetacean Society conferences are open to everyone -so come, be informed and inspired, and immerse yourself in the world of "Whales in a Changing World". For more information, and to register online, visit the ACS website at <www.acsonline.org <http://www.acsonline.org/> >. Conference Venue Embassy Suites - Special rate of just $169/night for a suite! Please note that all reservations made at the Embassy Suites help keep our costs, and therefore, YOUR registration costs, down! Please make your overnight accommodations at the Embassy Suites - be sure to mention ACS to get the great rate of just $169 night! You must make your reservation before the October 31st deadline. The Program Whales in a Changing World will look at how whales, dolphins, and porpoises are currently adapting to rapid environmental changes and altered ecosystems. Human uses of the ocean have irrevocably changed the ecosystem where whales have thrived, including the overfishing of whales and many other marine species. As roads become more crowded, we look to the ocean for increased levels of transport of both people and goods. As energy gets more scarce, we look to the ocean as a source of power (from such things as wind energy and the potentially disastrous return to offshore oil drilling); and to build shipping terminals that had previously been associated with ports of call (e.g. offshore LNG terminals). Further, the changes that we have brought to the global climate will also likely affect oceans and their ecosystem, potentially in serious ways. Join us as we take a look at the Whales in a Changing World from a wide range of views: Orcas in a Changing World Orcas off Monterey by Nancy Black of Monterey Bay Whale Watch SPLASH: Structure of Populations, Levels of Abundance, and Status of Humpbacks Program overview & results from photo ID by John Calambokidis Assessing health and human impacts by David Mattila of Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary geneSPLASH, the influence of maternal fidelity on migratory destinations in North Pacific humpback whales by Scott Baker of Oregon State University Whaling in a Changing World The U.S. effort to stop whaling by D.J.

Gray Whales and Climate Change: Sentinels of the North Pacific/Arctic Ecosystems You are invited to a workshop on gray whales and their apparent responses to changes in their environment on Monday 17 November 2008. The workshop will bring together a group of marine scientists with broad research interests to review and discuss gray whale population dynamics and behavior change in the context of environmental changes that are being observed throughout the gray whales' North Pacific and Arctic range. Specific topics will include observed changes in physical, chemical, and biological oceanography of the North Pacific and Arctic and the time scales of those changes, and the history and current status of the gray whale population including shifts in distribution, phenology, population dynamics, and behavior throughout their range. All of this information will be discussed in the context of how well gray whales serve as indicators of environmental change, and how they serve as "sentinels of the North Pacific/Arctic ecosystems". This workshop will contribute to the development of a qualitative framework for integrating gray whales and other marine mammals into ecosystem and climate change studies. This workshop will follow the Biennial Conference of the American Cetacean Society's Biennial Conference in Monterey, California 15-16 November 2008. The gray whale workshop will be from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Monday 17 November 2008 at the same venue as the American Cetacean Society Biennial, and is sponsored by the Pacific Life Foundation. Fantastic Field Trips Join fellow whale lovers aboard the "Sea Wolf II" for a natural history trip in world-famous Monterey Bay. Blue whales often linger into November and humpback whales are still a good possibility. The first gray whales can be expected on their southward migration. Many species of dolphins are regular in the bay, including Pacific white-sided, Northern right whale, long-beaked and short-beaked common, Risso's and bottlenose as well as harbor porpoise. We did have killer whales on the conference field trip in 2000, and they are spotted regularly in Monterey Bay. Many other species are possible. Enter the Photo Contest We invite amateur photographers to participate in the "Whales in a Changing World" photo contest. The winning entries will be displayed during the conference Monterey Bay, CA, on November 13 - 16, 2008. Entries must be received by October 31, 2008. For entry form and guidelines, please visit www.acsonline.org We look forward to seeing you there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Diane Alps ACS Conference Co-Chair and Event Coordinator dianealps(a)acsonline.org (310) 500-8485 Sign up now!

ERRATUM_IMC-10 symposium announcement
by Isabelle Charrier 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Sorry for this new posting, but some information were corrected (see bold black text) Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce that our proposal for organizing a symposium of Acoustic communication in terrestrial and aquatic mammals has been accepted by the Organization Committee of the 10th International Mammalogical Conference, which will be hosted in Mendoza, Argentina, Argentina, 9-14 August, 2009. Further information can be found in the conference website http://www.cricyt.edu.ar/imc10/index.html We would like to invite all the bioacousticians to submit their proposals to take part in this event. The symposium will consist of two types of presentations (please refer to the attachment for further information): a) Oral presentations: Because the symposium is planned to last 3 hours and a half, we are limited to 6-7 speakers maximum. Hence, we ask all those who are interested in participating as speakers to send us a 2-page written proposal (in English) of the topic you are studying that involves acoustic communication (aerial or underwater) in mammal species, what are your main results and how this research has contributed to the growth of a particular biological discipline in your country and in general. We would appreciate if you could also send us your contact information (work affiliation and e-mail address). Speakers will have 20 minutes and presentations should be done in English, the official language of the conference. b) Posters: Due to the amount of people we expect for this event, we asked the IMC organization committee permission to organize a satellite poster session after the symposium, so students, professors and researchers working in different aspects involving acoustic communication can gather together to exchange ideas, discuss different perspectives and learn more about vocal communication and how they serve as interesting study model in different areas of research. Those of you who are interested in participating in this poster session should send a brief description of your area of research and your contact information as well. Deadline for submission of proposals to participate in the symposium and/or the satellite poster session is April 30, 2009 (Authors must be registered by for the congress online before abstracts can be submitted). Proposals should be emailed to Isabelle CHARRIER, isabelle.charrier(a)u-psud.fr We hope to see you all next year in Mendoza!
