🐬 Fraser’s dolphins in the Caribbean turn out to be the ultimate social networkers, swimming with other species 83% of the time while island-hopping across 229km of ocean.

We loved having @anaisremili.bsky.social on the pod last month and hearing her many wonderful #WhaleTales including Baby-sitting an Orca Calf. Read the full story on our site or listen to episode 85! #WhaleTalesPodcast

🚨 NEW PAPER 🚨 We show that during warm, low-ice years in the Canadian Arctic, ringed seals exhibit thinner blubber, depleted fatty acids, and elevated metabolic stress. We also show that high PCB and mercury levels contribute to oxidative damage in the liver.

Scientists have assembled the first high-quality genomes of New Zealand’s Hector’s + critically endangered Māui dolphins using degraded DNA—an unprecedented breakthrough that offers insights for conservation and a new path forward for endangered species worldwide. whalescientists.com/new-zealand-...

A new and exciting @nature.com Communications study reveals baleen whales operate the planet's largest nutrient transport system, moving tons of nitrogen and carbon from polar feeding grounds to tropical breeding areas. Great job @jjkiszka.bsky.social and coauthors ✨

Today, hundreds of NOAA employees lost their jobs. It’s heartbreaking. It feels like a gut punch to my American friends who didn’t choose this, to those of us relying on federal grants to protect our oceans, and to every researcher now caught in this mess through no fault of their own.

New research reveals the extraordinary energy demands of humpback whale mothers, who travel over 3,000 miles without food to birth and nourish their 2,600-pound calves, a feat now further imperiled by climate change and marine heatwaves disrupting their critical food supply.

Still thinking about this big boi, A61, visiting Howe Sound last week. Him and the A42s were far out but it was still magical to see them swing by.

Did you know killer whale poo is green? @anaisremili.bsky.social has been working with some precious samples for a metabolomics project. She told us the shades vary from green-brownish to bright green.

Dreaming of a career in whale research but worried about needing a PhD? Good news—you don’t need one to contribute meaningfully to the field!

An incredible researcher and human being 💕

Un plaisir d’avoir pu partager mes expériences de jeune chercheuse avec @eloscicomm.bsky.social 🐳💙

One can only dream, eh?

Happy 🇺🇸 Thanksgiving from Vancouver! What are you thankful for this year? It’s been a stressful one, but I’m grateful for the chance to continue my career in beautiful British Columbia. Wishing you all a cozy and joyful holiday! 🩵💙🩵

A great researcher and kickass woman 💕✨

Hi 🦋, I’m a French postdoc researcher in Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 I study the impact of contaminants like pesticides and flame retardants on the health of marine mammals, particularly killer whales. I did my PhD on the diet and contaminant risks in North Atlantic killer whales.
