Life History and Production of the Western Gray Whale’s Prey, Ampelisca eschrichtii Krøyer, 1842 (Amphipoda, Ampeliscidae)
Ampelisca eschrichtii are among the most important prey of the Western North Pacific gray whales, Eschrichtius robustus. The largest and densest known populations of this amphipod occur in the gray whale's Offshore feeding area on the Northeastern Sakhalin Island Shelf. The remote location, ice cover and stormy weather at the Offshore area have prevented winter sampling. The incomplete annual s...
متن کاملAmpeliscidae (Crustacea, Amphipoda) from the IceAGE expeditions

However, as seems to be the trend in amphipod systematics, there are ever-present species complexes. Re...
متن کاملPopulation Assessment of Western Gray Whales in 2007
A population assessment of the western gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) was conducted using photoidentification data collected off Sakhalin Island under the joint Russia-U.S. programme from 1994 to 2006. This is an update of the assessments by Reeves et al (2005) and Cooke et al. (2006) which used data up to 2003 and 2005 respectively, fitted to the same, individually-based population model. ...

متن کاملProduction of Hybrids between Western Gray Wolves and Western Coyotes
Using artificial insemination we attempted to produce hybrids between captive, male, western, gray wolves (Canis lupus) and female, western coyotes (Canis latrans) to determine whether their gametes would be compatible and the coyotes could produce and nurture offspring. The results contribute new information to an ongoing controversy over whether the eastern wolf (Canis lycaon) is a valid uniq...
