Dear MarMammers, We are pleased to disseminate the following open access publication in Molecular Ecology: Marfurt SM, Tran Lu Y A, Dauphin B, Bizzozzero MR, Hatakeyama M, Chabanne DBH, Allen SJ, Smith F, Parra GJ, Krützen M (2026). Whole-genome-sequencing reveals demographic history and patterns of parallel adaptive evolution in Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) across coastal Australian seascapes. Molecular Ecology 35: e70383. Abstract: Understanding how demographic dynamics interact with environmental heterogeneity is central to explaining patterns of genomic variation in the marine realm. Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) occur along most of the Australian coastline, from tropical to temperate waters, encompassing pronounced differences in temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a concentration and ocean currents. Using whole-genome sequencing of individuals covering this range, we examined population genetic structure and adaptive divergence at a continental scale. Genome-wide variation mirrored geographic patterns, consistent with a common origin in the north, followed by two independent stepping-stone-like colonization patterns along the eastern and the western coastlines from north to south. In contrast, putatively adaptive loci clustered individuals by tropical waters regardless of geographic distance, indicating strong parallel adaptation in tropical habitats. Candidate loci were enriched for functions related to metabolism and ion transport, with some mapping to genes with regulatory functions. Additional signals potentially suggest involvement of neuronal pathways, consistent with adaptation in a highly social and cognitively advanced marine mammal. Our results highlight the complex interplay between demographic history and selection and suggest tropical–temperate, potentially ecotype-like differentiation across Australian waters. In the face of accelerating climate change, recognizing such adaptive structuring is critical for preserving evolutionary potential. Incorporating adaptive genomic information into conservation planning, alongside neutral genetic data, will be essential for anticipating population responses to future environmental change and for identifying biologically meaningful conservation units.

Dear MARMAM community, We are excited to announce a full-day workshop at the 26th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals (SMM2026), taking place October 19–23, 2026 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Next Era of Marine Mammal Ecotoxicology Sunday, October 18, 2026 | Full day (8:30–17:30) San Juan, Puerto Rico Significant advancements in marine mammal ecotoxicology have yielded critical insights into the effects of anthropogenic contaminants on individuals, populations, and ecosystems. This workshop will gather researchers to critically assess where the field currently stands and define a shared vision for the future. The day will be structured around three core themes: 1. Current and emerging contaminants of concern (UV-related compounds, micro- and nanoplastics, PFAS, PPCPs, flame retardants, and more) 2. Effects of contaminants on physiology and welfare (sub-lethal responses, omics-based endpoints, endocrine disruption, immune effects) 3. Limitations and future directions (risk assessment, cumulative and mixture effects, climate-driven contaminant pathways) Each session will feature keynote presentations, panel discussions, facilitated breakout groups, and plenary synthesis. A virtual participation option will be available for those unable to attend in person. The workshop will culminate in a collaborative roadmap and lay the groundwork for a peer-reviewed perspective paper synthesizing the state of the field and ways to move forward.

New paper on beluga AI PAM
by Manolo Castellote 08 Jun '26

08 Jun '26

We are thrilled to announce the publication of our latest paper in Marine Mammal Science. This research details the complete revamp of our AI-powered pipeline and analytical workflow for processing passive acoustic data to detect beluga whales in Cook Inlet, Alaska. To support the broader research community, our code is entirely open-source and intentionally designed to be easily adaptable for monitoring other marine species. Abstract: Effective conservation of the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) requires comprehensive spatiotemporal data, yet monitoring efforts remain spatially biased, underrepresenting important southern habitats. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) provides the necessary broad-scale coverage, but its expansion introduces substantial computational challenges, including high soundscape variability, rarity of target species' signals relative to background noise, and multi-species signal interference that can compromise classifier performance. We present an open-source deep learning framework designed to improve robustness, adaptability, and domain generalization of PAM analyses for this population. Building on a beluga-focused binary classifier, we implemented a dual-stage model that separates signal detection from species classification and expanded the framework to a multi-species context that includes killer whales (Orcinus orca) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). Contrastive audio-language models were used to efficiently increase annotation coverage for previously underrepresented species, while active learning enabled iterative refinement of model performance on new data. The framework was applied to PAM datasets from management and ecologically significant regions of lower Cook Inlet. Results demonstrated improved detection of rare species occurrences and increased confidence in daily beluga presence estimates, strengthening the role of PAM in informing recovery efforts and management decisions. This transferable workflow supports continued advancement of large-scale, long-term marine mammal monitoring programs.

New publication: A standardized framework for quantifying species occurrence, applied to passive acoustic monitoring of baleen whales
by Lindsey Transue - NOAA Affiliate 08 Jun '26

08 Jun '26

On behalf of my coauthors, I am pleased to share that our new paper has just been published in Ecological Indicators: Transue, L. M., Van Parijs, S. M., Tennant, S. C., Linden, D. W., Briner, R., Koilpillai, H. A., & Davis, G. E. (2026). A standardized framework for quantifying species occurrence, applied to passive acoustic monitoring of baleen whales. Ecological Indicators, 188, Article 114943. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2026.114943 ABSTRACT: Environmental monitoring increasingly relies on non-invasive, presence-only data, like passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), yet the field lacks standardized frameworks to quantify changes in species' occurrence patterns. This study introduces a reproducible methodological framework to translate qualitative presence-absence time series data into comparable quantitative indices using recurrence (re-detection probability within a defined temporal window), a magnitude of change metric quantifying interannual variation, and persistence (consecutive presence duration). To validate these metrics, acoustic presence patterns of four endangered baleen whale species were analyzed using a decadal (2014–2023) PAM dataset from 112 sites across the U.S. East Coast. These metrics quantified diverging ecological realities: dietary generalist fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) exhibited highly consistent patterns (97% recurrence, average magnitude of change <7%, average persistence up to 42.6 days) while dietary specialist North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) exhibited highly variable patterns (26%–96% recurrence, average magnitude of change >30%, average persistence <5 days). Furthermore, this framework captured the right whale's known decoupling from historical habitats associated with declining prey availability. Sei (Balaenoptera borealis) and blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) exhibited seasonally discrete recurrence (93%) that aligned with their known seasonal foraging and migratory strategies. By characterizing these trends across species with varying foraging strategies, this framework demonstrates how multi-species monitoring can function as an ecological indicator of broader ecosystem and trophic trends. While demonstrated here using acoustics, this approach is applicable to any long-term presence-only data stream, bridging the gap between high-resolution monitoring and the requirements of quantitative ecological indicators.

New publication on North Sea harbour porpoise body condition
by Schotanus, E.T. (Eva) 07 Jun '26

07 Jun '26

Dear MARMAM community, On behalf of my co-authors, I'm pleased to share our new paper that has just been published in Global Ecology and Conservation (open access): Schotanus, E. T., Doeschate, M. T. I., Brownlow, A. C., Dabin, W., Deaville, R., Gröne, A., Haelters, J., Heesterbeek, H., Jauniaux, T., Jensen, T. K., Kristensen, N. M., Lennon, R. L., Leopold, M. F., Peltier, H., Thøstesen, C. B., Williams, R. S., & IJsseldijk, L. L. (2026). Spatiotemporal and demographic variability in body condition of North Sea harbour porpoises. Global Ecology And Conservation, 69, e04275. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2026.e04275 ABSTRACT: Bioenergetic models play an important role in assessing effects of anthropogenic disturbance on a marine mammal population. However, model application is hindered by knowledge gaps, including population composition, demographics and body condition. The latter can be used as a health and fitness indicator. Body condition, measured by body mass index (BMI), was analysed for 1700 stranded or bycaught harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) from five countries around the North Sea between 1990 and 2023. Variation in body condition was examined across regions, seasons, age classes, sexes, and mortality categories. Mortality categories, based on necropsies, were: ‘acute’ (including bycatch, trauma and predation), ‘non-acute’ (including infectious diseases or other prolonged processes), and ‘other’ (including live stranding and unknown). All regions experienced seasonal variation in body condition. Juvenile harbour porpoises had the lowest BMI in summer, especially in the southern regions. Adults showed higher regional variability, with the lowest BMI occurring from late summer to early autumn. BMI also differed across mortality categories: individuals classified as ‘acute’ had significantly higher BMI than those in the ‘non-acute’ and ‘other’ categories. For adults, BMI varied by sex, with females in mortality categories ‘non-acute’ and ‘other’ showing lower values than males. These results provide reference values for harbour porpoise body condition in the North Sea, indicating spatiotemporal heterogeneity in body condition. This variability should be considered when assessing the effect of anthropogenic disturbance and informing marine mammal management and conservation in the Anthropocene.

New Publication: Noise, prey and acoustic behavior of North Atlantic right whales in Cape Cod Bay
by Rob Schick 05 Jun '26

05 Jun '26

On behalf of my colleagues, I'm pleased to share our new paper that has just been published in Endangered Species Research: Schick RS, Yack TM, Pirotta E, Mayo CA, Clark CW, Hudak CA, Schosberg RB, Martinez A, Paris MD, Kaney NA, Yu N, Gillespie D, Nowacek DP, Thomas L, Harris CM, Tyack PL (2026) Foraging behavior of Critically Endangered North Atlantic right whales is associated with ambient noise, prey density, and the acoustic behavior of conspecifics. Endang Species Res 60:esr01499 https://doi.org/10.3354/esr01499 ABSTRACT: The endangered North Atlantic right whale (NARW) faces threats from lethal and sublethal stressors. Prey limitation has been linked to reduced growth and fecundity, while anthropogenic noise has been associated with acoustic behavior changes and increased physiological stress. We combined disparate data sets collected in Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, USA, across multiple years, quantifying links between prey, calling behavior, noise, and foraging behavior to answer 3 questions: (1) What are the characteristics of noise and prey density in the patches where NARW forage? Are prey density, call rate, and noise related to (2) the probability of being in a foraging state and (3) the size of the foraging group? We found links between predicted prey density and 2 measures of NARW foraging: probability of being in a foraging state and foraging group size. There were also significant non-linear relationships between lagged calling behavior and these same measures. For group size, an interaction term between calling behavior and prey density suggested a complex interrelationship between these variables. When more ambient noise was measured near a patch in the 4 h prior to a sighting of foraging whales, whales foraged in lower-quality zooplankton patches. Elevated noise ahead of aggregated sightings was also associated with a smaller group size. This is consistent with the hypothesis that increased ambient noise disturbs foraging and/or reduces communication space, limiting the ability of NARWs to fully exploit their environment. Our findings suggest pathways for future experiments to explicitly test the mechanisms underpinning foraging processes in endangered NARW.

New Publication: The Deep-Sea Preyscapes of Mammalian Top Predators
by Marie Guilpin 05 Jun '26

05 Jun '26

Dear MARMAM community, My co-authors and I are pleased to announce the publication of our new paper in Environmental DNA entitled "The Deep-Sea Preyscapes of Mammalian Top Predators". V. Merten, M. Guilpin, J. M. Parker, M. Oudejans, S. M. Dolan, S. Baumann‐Pickering, E. L. Hazen, L. M. D. Barcelos, M. F. Guerreiro, F. M. Porteiro, S. Franzenburg, T. Bayer, H.-J. Hoving, F. Visser, The Deep‐Sea Preyscapes of Mammalian Top Predators. *Environ. DNA* *8* (2026). https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.70296 ABSTRACT Prey richness, accessibility, and density shape predator foraging strategies. Deep-sea preyscapes, however, remain largely unknown, limiting our understanding of how prey presence and distribution shape predator movement, energy budget, and ecological role. Using combined eDNA metabarcoding and hydroacoustics, we investigated the deep-sea cephalopod and fish preyscapes of three co-occurring cetacean predators (Risso's dolphins (*Grampus griseus*), Sowerby's beaked whales (*Mesoplodon bidens*), and goose-beaked whales (*Ziphius cavirostris*)) across an inshore-offshore gradient. We tested whether (i) prey acoustic backscatter (a metric for density) and taxonomic richness decreased with distance from shore; (ii) predators exploit localized peaks in prey density and richness; and (iii) prey composition and density varied across adjacent foraging habitats along the inshore-offshore gradient. Across 117 samples, we detected 37 cephalopod and 66 fish taxa, including other top predators (sharks). Acoustic backscatter was concentrated within the deep scattering layer (DSL). Yet, peak taxonomic richness occurred above and below it, suggesting that the local DSL holds relatively limited fish and cephalopod richness. The offshore DSLs were vertically shallower and more stable, while the inshore DSL was deeper and bifurcated, possibly due to predator avoidance. Contrary to expectation, acoustic backscatter offshore was up to fivefold higher than inshore, and taxonomic richness did not decrease with distance from shore. Fish communities varied primarily with depth, whereas cephalopod communities varied along the inshore-offshore gradient. Bathypelagic offshore foraging zones of goose-beaked whales contained overall low acoustic backscatter but high taxonomic richness. This suggests that goose-beaked whales may target large, energy-rich cephalopods and prioritize prey quality over density. Our results reveal vertical and horizontal habitat complexity in an oceanic ecosystem that may shape predator–prey interactions and habitat partitioning among cetacean species. The article is open access and available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.70296 Best regards, Marie Guilpin, PhD Marie Curie Research Fellow Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling and School of Mathematics and Statistics University of St Andrews, Scotland KY16 9LZ
