Motivated by the need to estimate the abundance of marine mammal populations to inform
conservation assessments, especially relating to fishery bycatch, this paper provides …

Almost 80% of the oceans, especially the Arctic and Subarctic are primarily inhabited by
marine mammals. Marine species depend mostly on sea ice for food, raising their young …

In this study, we assess prey consumption by the marine mammal community in the
northeast Atlantic [including 21 taxa, across three regions:(I) the Icelandic shelf, Denmark …

In the northern hemisphere, humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) typically migrate
between summer/autumn feeding grounds at high latitudes, and specific winter/spring …

The Trans-North Atlantic Sightings Survey (T-NASS) carried out in June-July 2007 was the
fifth in a series of large-scale cetacean surveys conducted previously in 1987, 1989, 1995 …

The highly productive waters off Iceland are an important feeding ground for baleen whales.
Five balaenopterid species coexist there during the summer feeding season: the blue whale …

Two shipboard line-transect surveys of the Northeast Atlantic were conducted between 2002–

The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), a highly mobile cetacean species of the
Northern Hemisphere, inhabits basins that vary broadly in salinity, temperature, and food …

Sympatric organisms can avoid competition by occupying different ecological niches, a
mechanism known as niche partitioning. In Iceland, white-beaked dolphins Lagenorhynchus …

Climate change is rapidly affecting species distributions across the globe, particularly in the
North Atlantic. For highly mobile and elusive cetaceans, the genetic data needed to …
