by Jenn Tackaberry 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Marine Mammal Research Internships 2009-2010 (For a detailed description and application, please see our website at www.whalecenter.org/intern.htm) The Whale Center of New England, located in Gloucester, MA, is a non-profit research organization involved with the study of the behavior, ecology, and natural history of the whales and dolphins found in the waters off of Massachusetts. The Whale Center is also heavily involved with habitat conservation and education programs. We are currently looking to fill research internships for the summer (May 25-August 21) and fall (August 17 – December 18) semester of 2009 and for the spring (February 1 - May 28) semester of 2010. Please note: All positions are filled in the spring of each year. The Whale Center of New England internship provides experience needed to further pursue fields in marine biology and animal behavior. It is our goal to provide college students and recent graduates with the opportunity to collect valuable information important to the marine mammal field and to see how this information is used in management and conservation efforts in this area. Each internship session offers different experiences in marine mammal science that will depend on the season. These duties may include, but are not limited to: extensive photo-identification and computer work (training provided), field data collection aboard commercial whale watching vessels and our 42’ research vessel The Mysticete, attendance at necropsies (whale autopsies), marine mammal stranding response, harbor seal surveys and attendance at conferences and meetings. A fee of $1250 for the period will be charge and in return interns will receive housing and a $30 weekly food stipend. A common apartment is used, where interns live together and share cooking and cleaning duties. Rooms are shared with one other person. A living arrangement such as this is conductive to open discussion and interaction between peers and home life is often a continuation of the day in the field. Also, college credit may be arranged by the student through their department or as an independent research program at their college or university. The Whale Center of New England encourages this, and will take whatever steps are required to facilitate such efforts. Internship applicants should have the following: * A background in biology, zoology, or related field * Some knowledge of research methods and design * An ability to work, live and communicate well with others * Enthusiasm and dedication to work long days (sometimes 12 hours or more) in the field or lab * Completed their freshmen year at the time of application In order to apply for an internship: please send a resume, a cover letter detailing your reason(s) for applying, one letter of reference, and an updated transcript. Once your application has been received, an interview will be arranged. In-person interviews are preferred, necessitating travel to Gloucester, MA, during one of two weekends in March 2009 (to be determined at a later date). All applications must be submitted by March 1, 2009. Applicants should note which semesters they are applying for (a single application may enter an applicant into the pool for more than one session, in case they are not selected for their first choice). All positions are highly competitive. Because of an increased work calendar during the summer session, volunteer positions are also available. Application materials and questions regarding the internship should be directed to the intern coordinator: Jenn Tackaberry Jennifer Tackaberry P.O.

New article on resource partitioning between humpback and minke whales in Antarctica
by Ari Friedlaender 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

The following articles has been published on line: Friedlaender, A.S., G.L. Lawson, and P.N. Halpin. 2008. Evidence of resource partitioning between humpback and minke whales around the western Antarctic Peninsula. Marine Mammal Science DOI: 10.1111/j. 1748-7692.2008.00263.x ABSTRACT For closely related sympatric species to coexist, they must differ to some degree in their ecological requirements or niches (e.g., diets) to avoid interspecific competition. Baleen whales in the Antarctic feed primarily on krill, and the large sympatric prewhaling community suggests resource partitioning among these species or a nonlimiting prey resource. In order to examine ecological differences between sympatric humpback and minke whales around the Western Antarctic Peninsula, we made measurements of the physical environment, observations of whale distribution, and concurrent acoustic measurements of krill aggregations. Mantel's tests and classification and regression tree models indicate both similarities and differences in the spatial associations between humpback and minke whales, environmental features, and prey. The data suggest (1) similarities (proximity to shore) and differences (prey abundance versus deep water temperatures) in horizontal spatial distribution patterns, (2) unambiguous vertical resource partitioning with minke whales associating with deeper krill aggregations across a range of spatial scales, and (3) that interference competition between these two species is unlikely. These results add to the paucity of ecological knowledge relating baleen whales and their prey in the Antarctic and should be considered in conservation and management efforts for Southern Ocean cetaceans and ecosystems.

New paper on small-scale spatio-temporal dynamics in harbour porporpoise
by Henrik Skov 03 Jan '09

03 Jan '09

The following paper is now available online at Inter-Research Marine Ecology Progress Series; full text is available at http://www.int-res.com/abstracts/meps/v373/p173-186/, or by emailing me (hsk(a)dhigroup.com) Resolving fine-scale spatio-temporal dynamics in the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena Henrik Skov and Frank Thomsen Abstract: With the development of human activities in offshore shelf waters, the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena has become a focal species in relation to management of human activities and marine habitat conservation efforts. In this study, acoustic and visual time series of harbour porpoise occurrence were analysed from the Horns Reef area, eastern North Sea, aiming at resolving periodicity, spatial scale of aggregation and habitat drivers in porpoises. A total of 51 fine-scale surveys and 474 d of hydrophone deployment at 2 stations were analysed by partial least squares regression and spatial modelling in relation to synoptic (spatio-temporal) data derived from a local, high-resolution hydrodynamic model. Small-scale changes in local currents reflecting upwelling driven by the interaction of the semi-diurnal tidal currents with the steep slopes of the bank were the main habitat driver identified from the acoustic as well as the survey data. Spatial modelling based on selected key predictor variables showed the distribution of harbour porpoises to alternate between 2 upwelling cells depending on the direction of tidal currents. The size of upwelling cells was less than 10 km, matching the small-scale spatial structure of survey data as revealed by geostatistical analysis. The findings may have great implications for the design of future protected areas for harbour porpoises, and they indicate that the overlap between areas of concentration of the species and areas targeted by fisheries and the offshore wind industry could be avoided without major changes to current management practices.

Dear All I'm one of the life science editors at Cambridge University Press. We're looking to expand our publishing programme in the marine sciences and seeking proposals for academic volumes in marine mammalogy. This could range from basic undergraduate textbooks in marine biology to advanced, research level, edited volumes on niche subjects, such as Ian Boyd's recent Top Predators in Marine Ecosystems. Particular topics of interest are behavior, behavioral ecology, marine bioacoustics, and a textbook of marine mammals (graduate level). However, I would be happy to discuss potential projects across the subject fields, and at all levels. If any of you feel a burning desire to write, have a dusty publishing proposal sat upon your shelves, or perhaps know a colleague who does, do please get in touch. I would be delighted to hear from you. Warm regards Martin ************************************ Dr Martin Griffiths Commissioning Editor, Life Sciences Cambridge University Press The Edinburgh Building Shaftesbury Road Cambridge, CB2 8RU tel: +44(0)1223 325776 (office) mob: +44(0)7903593890
