And that’s a wrap on another fieldwork season in New Caledonia! 🐋🌊🎶 So grateful for a second year helping Opération Cétacés & IRD collect humpback whale data. Countless hours on the water, unforgettable encounters & a brilliant team. 📷 me @seamammalresearch.bsky.social @uniofstandrews.bsky.social

🎉 Excited to share our new paper on cooperative feeding in killer whales 🫍. Using animal-borne audio and video data, we investigated tail-slap feeding, found evidence of role specialisation, and developed a novel acoustic method to estimate group-level feeding rates. 📖 doi.org/10.1098/rsos... ⬇️

The red dot is a baby North Atlantic right whale trying to migrate up the east coast of the United states. The blue streaks are fast moving shipping vessels entering and leaving New York City harbor. One collision and the whale is dead. We need *mandatory* speed limits for these vessels! 🧪🦑🌍

Still buzzing from this! Thanks for the cheerleading 🎊 I loved presenting my work on humpback whale song in New Caledonian lagoon at #ECS2026 🐋 Such a great conference, with inspiring discussions all around.

Great time at the 37th ECS conference presenting my first PhD chapter on climate-driven changes in the New Caledonia soundscape and humpback whale acoustics 🐋 Loved the discussions, feedback, and new connections. Special mention to the ceilidh to wrap up this wonderful week. On to the next!

🦭 We have a new paper out! We developed an accessible framework for assessing the risk of collision between seals and operating tidal turbines. ⏭️ We found that most seal tracks moved near the turbine without collision. Read it here: doi.org/10.1002/aqc.... @seamammalresearch.bsky.social

Amazing footage from @asociaciontursiops.bsky.social shows two young males and a smaller female calf - is their boisterousness part of the explanation why males leave/are isolated from the social units they were born in, because they bring threat od injury to vulnerable calves? 🐳🦑🧪

Big Science 🙂 Many of our friends and colleagues made this happen. Shout-out to Mike Donoghue and to my husband, Scott Baker who, 20 years ago, organized a consortium of South Pacific whale researchers to track whale biology and movements using old-school techniques, like photo ID.
