Universidad Internacional Menendez Pelayo, Valencia (Spain), 1-5 September 2014
DIRECTORS: J.A. Raga (University of Valencia) & P.G.H. Evans (Sea Watch
Foundation & University of Bangor)
SCIENTIFIC SECRETARY: J. Tomás & A. Perez del Olmo (University of Valencia)
This international seminar represents the Tenth European course on the biology
and conservation of one of the most threatened animal groups - marine mammals.
The course consists of 15 sessions grouped into three modules:
- The first module will show the latest advances and current research on
several aspects of biology and pathology of cetaceans and pinnipeds with
lectures on life history strategies, behavioural ecology, acoustics,
parasitology, pathology, feeding ecology, statistical modelling, and assessment
of population size and status
- In the second module, there will be practical demonstrations of laboratory
techniques applied to the research on marine mammals, covering dissection of a
dolphin, acoustics and impacts of noise, dietary analysis, absolute abundance
estimation from line transect surveys, and mark-recapture studies of
population size and survival rates from photo-ID
- The third module will deal with aspects of management and strategies for
species conservation, including marine protected areas, at European and world
scales. There will also be a round table debate on noise impacts.
