Extremely proud of @wild-devs.bsky.social first first-author publication. Devonne showed sexual segregation and stable pregnancy rates in minke whales sampled in the Gulf of St. Lawrence between 2007-2015 @jlkershaw.bsky.social @leverhulme.ac.uk @meps-ir.bsky.social www.int-res.com/abstracts/me...

🎉 Excited to share my 1st first-author paper has been published in @meps-ir.bsky.social We used biopsy samples to investigate population demographics & ecophysiology of free-ranging #minkewhales in the northern Gulf of St Lawrence www.int-res.com/abstracts/me... #marineconservation #marinemammals

New research reveals the extraordinary energy demands of humpback whale mothers, who travel over 3,000 miles without food to birth and nourish their 2,600-pound calves, a feat now further imperiled by climate change and marine heatwaves disrupting their critical food supply.

Great article on using hormone analysis from baleen to infer how #whales responded to the resumption of #whaling. Stress hormones rose in whales in the first year that whaling resumed post WWII - even in those that weren't killed that year. Kathleen Hunt / Alyson Fleming / Allie Case 🐳🌍🦑

Understanding reproductive seasonality is important during wildlife management and monitoring. This study of testosterone levels in grey whales 🐋 provides new insights into their reproductive biology. Read it here: buff.ly/42mFO2m
