The massive number of seabirds (penguins and procellariiformes) and marine mammals
(cetaceans and pinnipeds)–referred to here as top predators–is one of the most iconic …

Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus at South Georgia were heavily exploited during 20 th
century industrial whaling, to the point of local near-extirpation. Although legal whaling for …

Passive acoustic monitoring is an efficient way to provide insights on the ecology of large
whales. This approach allows for long-term and species-specific monitoring over large …

There has been remarkably little attention to using the high resolution provided by
genotyping‐by‐sequencing (ie, RAD seq and similar methods) for assessing relatedness in …

Passive acoustic monitoring was used to detect the sounds of rarely sighted Antarctic blue
and fin whales to investigate their seasonal occurrence (as presence or absence of whale …

The southern Indian Ocean is believed to be a natural territory for blue and fin whales.
However, decades after commercial and illegal whaling decimated these populations, little …

Abstract Aim Species distribution models (SDMs) are essential tools in ecology and
conservation. However, the scarcity of visual sightings of marine mammals in remote polar …

Genetic datasets of tens of markers have been superseded through next-generation
sequencing technology with genome-wide datasets of thousands of markers. Genomic …

Seasonal and annual climate variations are linked to fluctuations in the abundance and
distribution of resources, posing a significant challenge to animals that need to adjust their …

Migratory animals are declining worldwide and coordinated conservation efforts are needed
to reverse current trends. We devised a novel genoscape‐network model that combines …
