One male specimen of the species Metapenaeus stebbingi Nobili, 1904 was first recorded in November 2021 from Iraqi territorial waters, Northwest Arabian Gulf. Therefore, investigated shrimp nominally corresponds to original description M. stebbing through main diagnostic features. It must be adopted spread and expansion species, a new record area, distinctive addition commercial within marine w...

Stomach contents from 121 narwhals (Monondon monoceros) harvested in the eastern Canadian High Arctic and West Greenland were used to quantify seasonal changes in feeding activity and prey selection. Stomachs collected from summer harvests were mostly empty with little evidence of recent feeding. Stomachs collected in late fall and winter harvests had considerable amounts of undigested material...

Until recent declines in Arctic sea ice levels, narwhals (Monodon monoceros) have lived in relative isolation from human perturbation and sustained predation pressures. The resulting naïvety has made this cryptic, deep-diving cetacean highly susceptible to disturbance, although quantifiable effects have been lacking. We deployed a submersible, animal-borne electrocardiograph-accelerometer-depth...

Aims. The complex Monoceros Loop SNR/Rosette Nebula region contains several potential sources of very-high-energy (VHE) γray emission and two as yet unidentified high-energy EGRET sources. Sensitive VHE observations are required to probe acceleration processes in this region. Methods. The H.E.S.S. telescope array has been used to search for very high-energy γ-ray sources in this region. CO data...
