Satellite Tracking and Photographic-Identification as Connectivity-Based Tools ...
Weyn, Mieke; Marrero-Pérez, Jacobo; Sánchez Mora, Anna; Pimentel González, Atenary; Ferreira, Rita; Sambolino, Annalisa; Dinis, AnaIdentifying biogeographical patterns and important biological (blue) corridors can greatly contribute to conservation planning. Yet, this is particularly challenging when addressing pelagic species. In this study, satellite telemetry and photographic-identification data of short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) were used to identify preferred areas and pathways in the Macaronesia biogeographical...
Isotope-based inferences of the trophic niche of short-finned pilot whales in t...
Escánez, Alejandro; Marrero-Pérez, Jacobo; Dromby, Morgane; Pimentel-González, Atenary; Dias, Ester; García-Pastor, Ester M.; Weyn, MiekeKnowledge of predator-prey interactions is key in ecological studies and understanding ecosystem function, yet this is still poorly explored in the deep-sea environment. Carbon (delta C-13: C-13/C-12) and nitrogen (delta N-15: N-15/N-14) stable isotope ratios of a deep-diving species, the short-finned pilot whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus), were used to explore knowledge gaps on its ecological niche and forag...
