Causes and consequences of female centrality in cetacean societies
Cetaceans are fully aquatic predatory mammals that have successfully colonized virtually all
marine habitats. Their adaptation to these habitats, so radically different from those of their …

Reliability of marine faunal detections in drone-based monitoring
An increase in shark bites, declining shark populations, and changing social attitudes, has
driven an urgent need for non-destructive shark monitoring. While drones may be a useful …
