Postweaning horizontal movements and diving behavior of a recovering grey seal (Halichoerus grypus atlantica) population in the western North Atlantic Open
Background Conserving marine predators is tantamount to maintaining functional marine ecosystems. Though intensively studied in other regions, little is known about at-sea movements and diving behaviors of a recovering population of grey s…

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Outbreak in New England Seals, United States Open
We report the spillover of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) into marine mammals in the northeastern United States, coincident with H5N1 in sympatric wild birds. Our data indicate monitoring both wild coastal birds and marine mamma…

Site fidelity, population identity and demographic characteristics of humpback whales in the New York Bight apex Open
Humpback whales ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) exhibit maternally driven fidelity to feeding grounds, and yet occasionally occupy new areas. Humpback whale sightings and mortalities in the New York Bight apex (NYBA) have been increasing over t…

Application of a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends in Atlantic harbor seal (<span><i>Phoca vitulina vitulina</i></span>) abundance in Maine, U.S.A., 1993–2018 Open
The population of harbor seals ( Phoca vitulina vitulina ) along the coast of Maine, U.S.A., has experienced rapid growth in abundance following passage of the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1972 but current information on trends in abund…

An assessment of temporal, spatial and taxonomic trends in harmful algal toxin exposure in stranded marine mammals from the U.S. New England coast Open
Despite a long-documented history of severe harmful algal blooms (HABs) in New England coastal waters, corresponding HAB-associated marine mammal mortality events in this region are far less frequent or severe relative to other regions whe…
