Demersal fish and benthic invertebrate assemblages in the Northwest Atlantic
Marine classification schemes based on abiotic surrogates often inform regional marine conservation planning in lieu of detailed biological data. However, theses chemes may... -
Areas of high residency within the summer distribution of the beluga whale population
To identify areas of high residency, fine-scale tracking data from individual animals and coarser, short-term movement patterns of herds were analyzed. Individual radio-tracking... -
