AQUATIC MAMMALS

Attention IMATA Members! 
Have you ever wanted to know more about the social composition and reproductive behaviors of male California sea lions, the reproductive parameters of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins, a harbor porpoise’s pregnancy, or a right whale’s birth?   AquaticMammals

If anatomy and physiology are more to your liking, you’ll definitely appreciate how cytokine findings provide implications towards bottlenose dolphin health assessments, how mature male and female Stellar sea lion diets differ and cannot be used as proxies for each other, and about the metacarpo-phalangeal anomalies found in bottlenose dolphins. 

Perhaps your interests lie more in keeping with learning about the rehabilitation and homing behavior of a harbor porpoise, the radio-tracking and survivorship of rehabilitated bottlenose dolphins, or about humpback whale, sperm whale and Atlantic spotted dolphin responses to seismic exploration off Angola. 

If you’re into vocalizations, you will want to find out about how the gender, age and identity of Antillean manatees can be determined though their isolation calls and how a beluga whale calf vocally develops. 

Maybe you would like to discover more about turtles of the world, Antillean manatee distribution and habitat use in the drowned cayes area of Belize, or harbor porpoise habitat use with diurnal and tidal variations in southwest Britain.
