The behavior, distribution, and life history of sei whales ( Balaenoptera borealis ) are largely unknown in the North Pacific. We analyzed data from three bottom‐mounted acoustic recorders deployed 25 (shelf; depth = 300 m), 45 (slope; depth = 630 m), and 65 (abyssal; depth = 2860 m) nautical miles off of Newport, Oregon, USA that recorded continuously from October 2021 to December 2022. Acoustic data were visually and aurally...
Despite extensive conservation efforts worldwide, biodiversity loss continues, particularly in tropical regions. It is, therefore, essential to develop biodiversity monitoring methods that can be effectively scaled up in both time and space, enabling wildlife managers to quickly assess and respond to changes in populations or communities. We explored the effectiveness of combining camera traps with acoustic methods to survey s...
Drivers of Microbiome Composition Among Helminth Parasites Sharing the Same Insectivorous Bat HostNARA Subscribed
Parasitic metazoans are increasingly recognised to form close associations with microbial taxa. Under the holobiont concept, these associations are an eco‐evolutionary unit under joint selection. However, for most parasitic helminth species and particularly those associated with wildlife, these interactions and their effect on parasite evolution remain unknown. Investigating the factors determining the composition of helminth...
Bioacoustic Baselines for Intact ForestsNARA Subscribed
Forests are at the frontline of both climate and biodiversity crises: forests are fundamental to the regulation of Earth's atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, and tropical forests alone harbour over half of all terrestrial species. Consequently, forests are at the centre of global efforts to both prevent extinctions of species and sequester carbon to mitigate climate change. Most carbon sequestration initiatives do not measure...
Progress status of the NUSES Space MissionNARA Subscribed
Over the past decade, the estimation of water requirements in almond orchards has improved through the application of remote sensing models like the Two-Source Energy Balance (TSEB) model using various remote sensing platforms. However, there is limited understanding of how canopy-induced shadows influence surface reflectance and thermal infrared (TIR) signals particularly from small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) imagery in...
Comparing Influences of Natural and Artificial Woody Habitat on Benthic Macroinvertebrates in a North Temperate LakeNARA Subscribed
Littoral habitat is an important organizing force in lacustrine food webs. Modification of littoral habitat directly impacts aquatic macroinvertebrates, which are important vectors between basal resources and higher trophic levels. Lakeshore residential development is a pervasive phenomenon often characterized by the loss of coarse woody habitat (CWH) from lakes, and the construction of artificial wooden structures (docks and...
