Seiche Training MMO and PAM Level 1 training at Okehampton Devon UK (first come first serve basis)
* 12-13May Classroom MMO with (optional) PSO
* 14-16 May, Classroom/ Boat PAM Level 1.
JNCC MMO training course will give you a thorough insight into all aspects of life as a marine mammal observer. Exploring: how noise impacts marine mammals; the legislative landscape; record-keeping; reporting requirements; and mitigation measures. Delegates of the MMO training also have the option of joining the Boat trip on 16th May included in this training. first come first serve basis.
PAM Level 1 course combines classroom study with practical experience at sea to equip you with the all the skills required to become a professionally qualified Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) Operator. you will look at the role of a PAM Operator and an in-depth introduction to PAM software, including an interactive PAMGuard workshop. The practical Boat trip will be from Plymouth Harbour,

Dear MarMamers
We would like to share our new open-access publication looking at the correlation against breathing frequency and body size in aquatic, semi-aquatic and terrestrial mammals. A link to this open access article can be found below.

Title: Phylogenetic allometric scaling of near basal breathing frequency in terrestrial, semi-aquatic and aquatic mammals
Journal: Experimental Physiology
Authors: Fahlman, A., Stielstra, E., Wilstermann, E., Rylaarsdam, S., Larsson, J., Sanchez-Contreras, G. J., Higa, S., Marques, G. N., Kaczmarska, M., Somarelli, J., & DeRuiter, S.

Abstract: We measured the basal breathing frequency following an overnight fast in adult, non-pregnant/non-lactating, inactive mammals ranging in body mass from 15 to 5520 kg. The data included results from 338 individual animals from 34 species that were divided into terrestrial, semi-aquatic (Otariidae and Phocidae) and aquatic mammals. Following attempts to limit the collection of breathing frequency using a basal definition and to correct the analysis phylogenetically, our results suggest that there are differences in the allometric mass-exponent between terrestrial and aquatic/semi-aquatic mammals. An allometric regression model, whereby both body mass and breathing frequency were transformed using log10, suggested that the allometric mass exponent for terrestrial mammals (−0.303) was different from both aquatic mammals (−0.124) and semi-aquatic mammals (−0.091). For semi-aquatic mammals, the breathing frequency was lower in water, but we detected no association between the breathing frequency and the temperature of the medium (water or air). We propose that allometric studies of cardiorespiratory function should, if possible, adhere to the basal definition during data collection, similar to that used for metabolic rate. Such data will provide valuable information for comparative medicine of large species that are difficult to study, for which controlled baseline data might be difficult to obtain.

Prof. Dr. Artur Andriolo. The position offers a monthly postdoctoral
fellowship worth approximately $1,270.00 (USD) for 20 months during the
project.The study investigates the biodiversity of mysticetes and their
acoustic behavior in the South Atlantic Ocean. The selected candidate must
reside in Juiz de Fora, MG, Brazil.The application period runs from 00:00
(midnight) on April 1, 2025, to 23:45 on April 15, 2025. Applications must
