History of Marine Mammal Tagging
This brief review is just that a far from definitive overview of the development of tagging as a tool for studying marine mammals, based on a quick and superficial review of the literature. My intention is simply to give participants a broad appreciation for some of the questions that have been addressed by tagging, what kinds of challenges have arisen in designing and applying tags to wild mar...
متن کاملMarine mammal neoplasia: a review.
A review of the published literature indicates that marine mammal neoplasia includes the types and distributions of tumors seen in domestic species. A routine collection of samples from marine mammal species is hampered, and, hence, the literature is principally composed of reports from early whaling expeditions, captive zoo mammals, and epizootics that affect larger numbers of animals from a s...
متن کاملRecovery Trends in Marine Mammal Populations
Marine mammals have greatly benefitted from a shift from resource exploitation towards conservation. Often lauded as symbols of conservation success, some marine mammal populations have shown remarkable recoveries after severe depletions. Others have remained at low abundance levels, continued to decline, or become extinct or extirpated. Here we provide a quantitative assessment of (1) publicly...
متن کاملToxinology of Venomous Marine Worms; A Review
Although the widespread distribution of venomous marine worms around the world, the structural and toxinologcal studies of their toxins are still limited.This study was aimed to evaluate the toxicity of poisonous marine worms. Touching the cilium of Chloeia flava and Sipuncula marine worms cause painful inflammation of the skin. Many species of nemertines prey their victims by a flexible prob...
متن کاملColor Vision in Marine Mammals: A Review
Marine mammals present a unique opportunity to study the course of evolutionary development of visual processes in their adaptation from a terrestrial to an underwater environment. The ambient light conditions in the oceans differ considerably from those on land and pose different challenges to the visual system. The optic mechanisms and the retinal structures of the eyes of marine mammals show...
