[MARMAM] ESR articles - Marine Mammals- please share

[Godley, Brendan]

Dear Colleagues

The journal Endangered Species Research  has become a major venue for 
publication of marine mammal literature. Our opening ISI Impact Factor was 1.3 
last year. I expect this will rise quickly now, with a value of 1.5-2.0 for 
this year.

We have recently hosted a special issue of 20 papers on the Effects of the 
Deepwater Horizon oil spill on protected marine species 
http://www.int-res.com/abstracts/esr/v33/ and have another one underway on 21st 
century paradigms for measuring and managing the effects of anthropogenic ocean 
noise

In total, 19 and 26 quality papers on marine mammals were published in each of 
2015 and 2016, respectively. These are listed below. All articles are open 
access and links are embedded. I would, therefore, be grateful if you could 
cascade this list through your networks to maximise the dividends of all this 
excellent work. If you would like a word doc of the definitive list of marine 
mammal papers with links then drop me a line. I fear the links will not 
transmit through the listserver.

One of the areas we would like to expand is our coverage of synthetic reviews, 
with several underway. Very happy to discuss possibilities with those who could 
potential lead such efforts.

[MARMAM] Cetacean sightings and strandings in Cornwall

[Godley, Brendan]

Dear All

We have recently had a paper accepted for JMBA on our local cetaceans. 
Unfortunately, the publisher, not the journal, fouled up after the proofs stage 
and put the wrong figures in. Although they will publish an erratum, the paper 
will never exist in its correct form, despite the miracle of online publishing.

To help remedy this, we have prepared our own version which can be obtained 
from the lead author Stephen Pikesley (cc; 
s.k.pikes...@exeter.ac.ukmailto:s.k.pikes...@exeter.ac.uk)



Details follow.

Stephen K. Pikesley, Mathew J. Witt, Tom Hardy, Jan Loveridge, Jeff Loveridge, 
Ruth Williams, Brendan J. Godley  (2011) Cetacean sightings and strandings: 
evidence for spatial and temporal trends? Journal of the Marine Biological 
Association of the UK. Published online: 09 June 2011. 
DOI:10.1017/S0025315411000464


ABSTRACT
Cetacean species and their habitats are under threat and effective marine 
management mitigation strategies require knowledge and understanding of 
cetacean ecology. This requires data that are challenging and expensive to 
obtain; incidental sightings/strandings data are potential underused resources. 
In this study, incidental cetacean sightings (n = 6631) and strandings (n = 
1856) in coastal waters of Cornwall, southwest Britain (1991 to 2008) were 
analysed for evidence of spatial and temporal patterns or trends. Eighteen 
species were recorded sighted and/or stranded; key species were identified as 
bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), 
common dolphin (Delphinus delphis), Risso's dolphin (Grampus griseus) and minke 
whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata). There were significant decreases in 
bottlenose dolphin sightings and pod size but an increase in harbour porpoise 
and minke whale sightings. Cetacean strandings showed a recent decrease over 
time although there was a significant positive trend in harbour porpoise 
strandings that correlated with sightings. Incidence of sightings and 
strandings were both greater on the south coast than the north coast. When 
Marine Tour Operator (MTO) data were analysed, distinct species-specific 
inshore and offshore habitat use was evident. With rigorous interrogation and 
editing, significant patterns and trends were gained from incidentally 
collected data, highlighting the importance of public engagement with such 
recording schemes and the potential of these underused resources.

[MARMAM] Darwin Initiatve: Films/Funding Opportunity

[Godley, Brendan]

Dear MARMAM

We have recently completed the a short film (in two languages) to publicize the 
Darwin Sustainable Artisinal Fisheries Initiative in Peru; a highly 
collaborative project lead by NGO Prodelphinus.

English:
http://www.youtube.com/universityofexeter#p/c/868210A42F3C27E1/0/OhtVmUJ6hkY
Spanish:
http://www.youtube.com/universityofexeter#p/c/868210A42F3C27E1/11/jyQinupAqVw

Participatory work will quantify levels of bycatch of marine vertebrates 
(mammals, turtles and birds) and seek mitigation strategies within the 
extensive small scale fisheries in the country.

The films details what I think is a near ideal Darwin Initiative project as 
well as outlining the salient features of the funding initiative. For those 
working in countries Rich in biodiversity and poor in resources, the UK 
Government's Darwin Initiative constitutes a sizeable source of funding for 
medium sized projects that should be investigated (£80 million on 728 projects 
since 1992).

For more information see http://darwin.defra.gov.uk/

All the best

[MARMAM] Biologging technologies: new tools for conservation (32 papers)

[Godley, Brendan]

Dear Colleagues

It is with great pleasure that we announce the publication below
All articles are available open access.

Please forward widely

Brendan Godley
(Endangered Species Research)


ESR THEME SECTION
Biologging technologies: new tools for conservation

This ESR THEME SECTION builds upon the resounding success of the partner Theme 
Section Tracking Vertebrates for Conservation. It examines the tracking of 
marine vertebrates in relationship to their oceanic environment and 
conservation. The Theme Section includes fully peer-reviewed papers presented 
as part of the Biologging III Symposium (Monterey, August 2008) which was 
co-hosted by the Tagging of Pacific Predators (TOPP; 
www.topp.orghttp://www.topp.org) and Tag-a-Giant (TAG; 
www.tagagiant.orghttp://www.tagagiant.org) programs. Symposium presentations 
showcased how the state of the art in biologging technologies was being used to 
unlock the ecology, physiology and conservation biology of a range of 
vertebrate species. The papers in the present volume represent the breadth and 
novelty of the research conveyed at the symposium along with additional related 
papers submitted independently.

As for all current ESR articles, we are pleased to make the online version of 
this ESR THEME SECTION available with Open 
Accesshttp://www.int-res.com/journals/open-access/
