New publication: Chronic exposure to glyphosate in Florida manatee
by Maite De María 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

Dear All, We are pleased to share our new publication in the journal Environmental International titled "Chronic exposure to glyphosate in Florida manatee" by Maite De María Cecilia Silva-Sanchez, Kevin J.Kroll, Michael T.Walshb, Mohammad-Zaman Nouria, Margaret E.Hunter, MonicaRoss, Tonya M.Clauss and Nancy D.Denslow. This was a collaborative effort between the University of Florida, USGS, Georgia Aquarium and Clearwater Marine aquarium. Abstract: Florida manatees depend on freshwater environments as a source of drinking water and as warm-water refuges. These freshwater environments are in direct contact with human activities where glyphosate-based herbicides are being used. Glyphosate is the most used herbicide worldwide and it is intensively used in Florida as a sugarcane ripener and to control invasive aquatic plants. The objective of the present study was to determine the concentration of glyphosate and its breakdown product, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), in Florida manatee plasma and assess their exposure to manatees seeking a warm-water refuge in Crystal River (west central Florida), and in South Florida. We analyzed glyphosate’s and AMPA’s concentrations in Florida manatee plasma (n = 105) collected during 2009–2019 using HPLC-MS/MS. We sampled eight Florida water bodies between 2019 and 2020, three times a year: before, during and after the sugarcane harvest using grab samples and molecular imprinted passive Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Samplers (MIP-POCIS). Glyphosate was present in 55.8% of the sampled Florida manatees’ plasma. The concentration of glyphosate has significantly increased in Florida manatee samples from 2009 until 2019. Glyphosate and AMPA were ubiquitous in water bodies. The concentration of glyphosate and AMPA was higher in South Florida than in Crystal River, particularly before and during the sugarcane harvest when Florida manatees depend on warm water refuges. Based on our results, Florida manatees were chronically exposed to glyphosate and AMPA, during and beyond the glyphosate applications to sugarcane, possibly associated with multiple uses of glyphosate-based herbicides for other crops or to control aquatic weeds. This chronic exposure in Florida water bodies may have consequences for Florida manatees’ immune and renal systems which may further be compounded by other environmental exposures such as red tide or cold stress.

New publication: dolphins can communicate with vocal signals to solve a cooperative task
by Stephanie King 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

Dear All, We are pleased to share our new publication in Royal Society Open Science titled Evidence that bottlenose dolphins can communicate with vocal signals to solve a cooperative task by Stephanie L. King, Emily Guarino, Katy Donegan, Christina McMullen and Kelly Jaakkola. Abstract: Cooperation experiments have long been used to explore the cognition underlying animals' coordination towards a shared goal. While the ability to understand the need for a partner in a cooperative task has been demonstrated in a number of species, there has been far less focus on cooperation experiments that address the role of communication. In humans, cooperative efforts can be enhanced by physical synchrony, and coordination problems can be solved using spoken language. Indeed, human children adapt to complex coordination problems by communicating with vocal signals. Here, we investigate whether bottlenose dolphins can use vocal signals to coordinate their behaviour in a cooperative button-pressing task. The two dolphin dyads used in this study were significantly more likely to cooperate successfully when they used whistles prior to pressing their buttons, with whistling leading to shorter button press intervals and more successful trials. Whistle timing was important as the dolphins were significantly more likely to succeed if they pushed their buttons together after the last whistle, rather than pushing independently of whistle production. Bottlenose dolphins are well known for cooperating extensively in the wild, and while it remains to be seen how wild dolphins use communication to coordinate cooperation, our results reveal that at least some dolphins are capable of using vocal signals to facilitate the successful execution of coordinated, cooperative actions.

Marine Biology in a World of Wounds
by Giovanni Bearzi 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

Human impacts on this planet have been recently re-labelled as "climate and ecological catastrophe", "biological annihilation, "sixth mass extinction" and "ecocide". Time to prevent irreversible damage is at best alarmingly short, leaving little room for irrelevant, untimely or self-serving science. As the awareness of threats facing our societies and life on Earth increases, scientists around the world are revising their priorities and time frames to account for a growing sense of urgency and non-reversibility. A new Theme Section in the journal Ethics in Science and Environmental Politics aims to re-define the role played by marine biologists as "ocean doctors" who, having seen the damage, identify and deploy the most effective strategies to help repair it. All contributions listed below are OPEN ACCESS and can be downloaded from: https://www.int-res.com/journals/esep/theme-sections/wow/ Three contributions (*) refer specifically to marine mammal science.

New publication on Stejneger's beaked whale strandings in Alaska
by Kate Savage - NOAA Affiliate 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

On behalf of all co-authors, we are pleased to share our recent publication: Savage, K. N., K. Burek-Huntington, S. K. Wright, A. L. Bryan, G. Sheffield, M. Webber, R. Stimmelmayr, P. Tuomi, M. A. Delaney and W. Walker. 2021. Stejneger’s beaked whale strandings in Alaska, 1995 - 2020. Marine Mammal Science 2021; 1-27. DOI: 10.1111/mms.12780 To request a copy of the paper, please contact *kate.savage(a)noaa.gov <kate.savage(a)noaa.gov>* Abstract: Presented is the first comprehensive and updated compilation of history, distribution, and findings of Stejneger's beaked whales (*Mesoplodon stejnegeri*) in Alaska. Stejneger's beaked whales are a poorly understood, elusive, deep-diving cetacean species found in the North Pacific Ocean. Since Stejneger's beaked whale strandings data in Alaska through 1994 were last published, 35 additional strandings have been documented. Twenty-seven animals stranded in the Aleutian Islands, seven stranded in Southcentral Alaska, and one animal stranded on St. Lawrence Island. Twenty-two carcasses were necropsied, but only four were fresh. Seventeen of the 22 died during mass stranding events and cause of death could not be definitively determined. Barotrauma was suspected in three cases and infectious disease possibly complicated by barotrauma occurred in two cases. We documented an expansion of strandings into the northern Bering Sea, characterized a sex bias, examined stomach contents that included macroplastic, and identified parasites not previously associated with Stejneger's beaked whales. Also included are data on the largest known mass stranding of Stejneger's beaked whales, which occurred on Adak Island in 2018. The history, distribution, and findings presented here are central to further our understanding of this species.

New publication on the first stranding record of Longman's beaked whale in Okinawa, Japan
by Nozomi Kobayashi 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

Dear MARMAM community, My co-outhors and I are pleased to announce you on our new publication titled, The first stranding record of Longman's beaked whale (*Indopacetus pacificus*) in Okinawa, Japan, which is published in the journal of Aquatic Mammals. by Nozomi Kobayashi, Koji Tokutake, Hideyoshi Yoshida, Haruna Okabe, Kei Miyamoto, Haruka Ito, Naoto Higashi, Shingo Fukada, Kei Yamazaki, Suguru Higa, Isao Kawazu, Keiichi Ueda. Abstract Longman’s beaked whale (Indopacetus pacificus) is one of the least known cetaceans in the world. Since it was first described as its own species in 1968, they have been observed alive at sea only on a few occasions and stranding has been reported for less than twenty cases worldwide to date. Thus, the ecological information regarding this species is still very limited compared to other cetaceans. In this study, the external appearance, osteological characters, DNA analysis, and parasitic organisms of a Longman’s beaked whale that was stranded on Ukibaru Island in Okinawa, Japan, are reported. The external appearance and the osteological features of the specimen matched the features of the Longman’s beaked whale presented in previous studies. MtDNA control-region sequences obtained from the specimen also matched the reference sequences of the species deposited in GenBank. Based on these features, we concluded that the specimen was Longman’s beaked whale. The specimen was estimated as juvenile male because of its body length (4.78 m), no eruption of teeth on its lower jaw, and no fusion of the vertebral epiphyses of its vertebral bodies. Whale lice collected from the body surface of the specimen were identified as Isocyamus indopacetus, which are known to parasitize Longman’s beaked whale. This was the first record of a stranded Longman’s beaked whale in Okinawa, and it was also the first record of a juvenile male for this species confirmed in Japan. The whole skeleton was cataloged in the collection of the Okinawa Churashima Research Center, Okinawa Churashima Foundation. The article can be found at the following link https://doi.org/10.1578/AM.47.2.2021.153 Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
