New publication: Long-term photo-ID, telemetry, and citizen science on southern right whales (Florencia Vilches)

Dear MARMAM community,

We are excited to share our new publication, "Life Histories of Satellite-Tracked Southern Right Whales Through Photo-Identification and Citizen Science in Patagonia, Argentina" by Florencia O. Vilches, Mariano Sironi, Alexandre N. Zerbini, Santiago J. Fernández, Marcela M. Uhart, and Victoria J. Rowntree. Publication link:  https://doi.org/10.1578/AM.49.2.2023.167

In this note, we show how a 5-decade photo-identification study on Patagonian southern right whales can integrate scientific research with whale watching and citizen science and contribute relevant information to enhance a satellite telemetry study.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at florencia.vilches@icb.org.ar with any questions regarding our work.

All the best,
Florencia
