[MARMAM] SMM WORKSHOP: Flukebook an online platform for data analysis

2017-07-13 Thread Shane
For SMM participants working with PhotoID, genetic samples, sightings data, 
and/or tag data:

No researcher can cover the range over which whales operate, we need the tools 
to work on oceanic and global scales to conserve marine species over 
biologically relevant scales. Flukebook (http://www.flukebook.org) is the first 
web platform that engages both the research and citizen science aspects of 
cetacean conservation. Flukebook is groundbreaking because it connects 
everyone, including the animals, in the same social network for the first time. 
It builds living stories, about animals and the people who want to interact 
with them, but it also grows useful data streams and provides powerful tools to 
the researchers who study them. The Flukebook platform is first and foremost 
for professional researchers. It provides researchers with the advanced tools 
needed for scientific analysis and enables transboundary and 
multi-institutional collaboration without sacrificing interactivity or 
approachability for citizen scientists wanting to engage with the species and 
its conservation. In Flukebook, researchers have access to data management 
tools, A.I.-trained photo-matching computer vision algorithms, a global catalog 
of individuals, and easy connectivity to common analytical software for 
mark-recapture, genetic, and socio-ecological studies (MARK, WinBugs, Socprog, 
GeneAIEx, ARC, GoogleMaps, Genepop among others). At the research level, 
secured data sharing is accomplished on a peer-approval basis which allows 
users to access tools without the requirement of sharing data; but promotes a 
growing inclusiveness and respect for data rights. For citizen scientists, 
Flukebook enables participants to receive automatic and comprehensive profile 
updates on individuals they have sighted, transforming "data" into learning and 
encouraging repeat participation and engagement in conservation initiatives in 
those regions.

The half-day workshop to be hosted from 8:00am to 12:00pm on October 28th will 
enable participants to learn more about this growing collaborative community, 
the functionality of the research tools, how to upload and export their data, 
examine and test the automated matching algorithms, learn more about how data 
is secured and shared online, and the future developments of the platform.

What we are hoping to do is build a community of researchers, commercial 
naturalists, and public enthusiasts who are committed to these species and 
collaborating for marine conservation. We are looking for people like you to 
help us shape the future of Flukebook and develop the platform further into a 
tool that is practical, accessible, and useful for all levels.

We hope to see you there!

[MARMAM] New publication on the use of the Robust Design on a small island associated population of Tursiops aduncus

2017-07-13 Thread Violaine Globice
Dear all,

 

I am pleased to announce the publication of the article entitled " Identifying 
Key Demographic Parameters of a Small Island–Associated Population of 
Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Reunion, Indian Ocean)" in Plos One. The 
article is open access and can be downloaded from the following links:

 

  
https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0179780

 

 

Citation:

Dulau V., Estrade V. Fayan J. 2017. Identifying Key Demographic Parameters of a 
Small Island–Associated Population of Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins 
(Reunion, Indian Ocean). Plos One. 12(6): e0179780. 

 

 

Abstract:

Photo-identification surveys of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins were conducted 
from 2009

to 2014 off Reunion Island (55ÊE33'/21ÊS07'), in the Indian Ocean. Robust 
Design models

were applied to produce the most reliable estimate of population abundance and 
survival

rate, while accounting for temporary emigration from the survey area (west 
coast). The sampling

scheme consisted of a five-month (June±October) sampling period in each year of 
the

study. The overall population size at Reunion was estimated to be 72 
individuals (SE = 6.17,

95%CI = 61±85), based on a random temporary emigration (γº) of 0.096 and a 
proportion

of 0.70 (SE = 0.03) distinct individuals. The annual survival rate was 0.93 
(±0.018 SE, 95%

CI = 0.886±0.958) and was constant over time and between sexes. Models 
considering gender

groups indicated different movement patterns between males and females. Males

showed null or quasi-null temporary emigration (γº = γ' < 0.01), while females 
showed a random

temporary emigration (γº) of 0.10, suggesting that a small proportion of 
females was

outside the survey area during each primary sampling period. Sex-specific 
temporary migration

patterns were consistent with movement and residency patterns observed in other

areas. The Robust Design approach provided an appropriate sampling scheme for 
deriving

island-associated population parameters, while allowing to restrict survey 
effort both spatially

(i.e. west coast only) and temporally (five months per year). Although 
abundance and

survival were stable over the six years, the small population size of fewer 
than 100 individuals

suggested that this population is highly vulnerable. Priority should be given 
to reducing

any potential impact of human activity on the population and its habitat.

[MARMAM] New publication on dolphins associating with a trawl fishery

2017-07-13 Thread Simon Allen
G’day Marmamers,

My co-authors and I are pleased to have had the following paper published in 
Scientific Reports: “Preliminary estimates of the abundance and fidelity of 
dolphins associating with a demersal trawl fishery”. The authors are Allen SJ, 
Pollock KH, Bouchet PJ, Kobryn HT, McElligott DB, Nicholson KE, Smith JN and 
Loneragan NR, and the abstract reads as follows:

The incidental capture of wildlife in fishing gear presents a global 
conservation challenge. As a baseline to inform assessments of the impact of 
bycatch on bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) interacting with an 
Australian trawl fishery, we conducted an aerial survey to estimate dolphin 
abundance across the fishery. Concurrently, we carried out boat-based dolphin 
photo-identification to assess short-term fidelity to foraging around trawlers, 
and used photographic and genetic data to infer longer-term fidelity to the 
fishery. We estimated abundance at ≈ 2,300 dolphins (95% CI = 1,247�C4,214) 
over the ≈ 25,880-km2 fishery. Mark-recapture estimates yielded 226 (SE = 38.5) 
dolphins associating with one trawler and some individuals photographed up to 
seven times over 12 capture periods. Moreover, photographic and genetic 
re-sampling over three years confirmed that some individuals show long-term 
fidelity to trawler-associated foraging. Our study presents the first abundance 
estimate for any Australian pelagic dolphin community and documents individuals 
associating with trawlers over days, months and years. Without trend data or 
correction factors for dolphin availability, the impact of bycatch on this 
dolphin population’s conservation status remains unknown. These results should 
be taken into account by management agencies assessing the impact of 
fisheries-related mortality on this protected species.

This dolphin-fishery interaction research follows on from:
Allen et al. 2014. Patterns of dolphin bycatch in a North-Western Australian 
trawl fishery. PLoS ONE 9: e93178, and
Allen et al. 2016. Genetic isolation between coastal and offshore, 
fishery-impacted bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops spp.) populations. Molecular 
Ecology 25: 2735-2753. doi: 10./mec.13622.

[MARMAM] SMM Workshop: PAM of marine mammals

2017-07-13 Thread Jens Koblitz

Dear MarMam and ECS Communities,

We like to announce a workshop titled: "Passive Acoustic Monitoring 
(PAM) of marine mammals" at the upcoming 22nd Biennial Conference of the 
Marine Mammal Society. This two day workshop will take place on Saturday 
28th and Sunday 29th of October.


Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) has now been used in several large 
projects that have produced results that could not be achieved by other 
methods within realistic budgets, but it is a young method with multiple 
challenges. This workshop aims to focus on all issues that impact 
efforts to use PAM of all marine mammals and present recently finished 
and ongoing projects. Both, static acoustic monitoring as well as towed 
systems will be presented and three taxa, namely toothed whales, baleen 
whales and pinnipeds are covered.


In a novel format, we will combine tutorials on equipment, detectors, 
classifiers and density estimation with invited talks by experts in the 
field and some contributed presentations.


Topics of the workshop will include:

1. Available instruments, methods of data analysis and comparison thereof
2. Performance of classifiers including false positive rates, noise 
impacts, and time costs

3. Species identification
4. Detection functions, including cue rates, detectability
5. Density estimates, comparability with other methods
6. Large PAM projects, project design, long-term monitoring and MPAs, 
logistics, managing, analyzing and presenting large date sets

7. Future developments

Please register via the conference website:
http://www.smmconference.org/WorkshopDescriptions

We have limited space for few contributed presentations and welcome 
submission of abstracts for short presentations on any of the topics 
covered in this workshop. Please e-mail Jens Koblitz at 
jens.kobl...@bioacousticsnetwork.org if you are interested in 
presennting at this workshop.


We are looking forward to seeing you in Halifax,

[MARMAM] SMM 2017 WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT: Experimental science in wild and captive marine mammals

2017-07-13 Thread Jason Bruck
Dear All,


We are pleased to announce the following workshop to be held on Saturday 
October 28th, 2017 at the upcoming SMM conference in Halifax


Title: Experimental Science in wild and captive marine mammals

 

Given the difficulty working with marine mammals, research programs often have 
a long-term focus on favored populations, which can separate scientists that 
work with wild populations from those focusing on animals in facilities. 
However, the body of marine mammal research shows that findings from both 
sources are critical to understanding marine mammal cognition, communication, 
physiology, biology, and conservation challenges. This workshop includes 
lectures from prominent scientists who have published on both facility-managed 
and wild animals (Sam Ridgway, Gerry Kooyman, Peter Tyack, Vincent Janik, 
Kathleen Dudzinski, Terrie Williams, Michael Moore, Paul Ponganis, Xavier 
Manteca, Cynthia Smith and Kelly Jaakkola). The workshop will provide insights 
into experimental science used in facilities and the wild to show how both 
approaches can complement each other. For example, including interrelated zoos 
can give greater data independence and controls absent in the wild; however!
 , wild populations allow the evaluation of ecology on biology/behavior. Some 
animals in facilities are studied in the field, bridging differences between 
the methods. The speakers will discuss which settings are suited to provide 
data for scientific problems related to conservation, pathology, physiology, 
behavior, cognition and communication. Speakers will also discuss welfare in 
the wild and in facilities and make recommendations for the best approaches to 
solve conservation issues.

This will be a great forum to ask questions of and gather insight from some of 
the best experimental scientists in the field of marine mammalogy. We look 
forward to seeing you in Halifax. 

Register today!

[MARMAM] 22nd Biennial Marine Mammal Conference Workshop Announcement

2017-07-13 Thread Frances Robertson
Hello!

We are excited to be bringing the following full day workshop to the 22nd
Biennial Marine Mammal Conference.

*Women in marine mammal science: Breaking down barriers to success. *

*Saturday October 28*
*8 am - 5 pm *

A full summary of the workshop is below, in addition further information is
available on our workshop website http://wimms.weebly.com/

We will post news and updates to the website throughout the next few
months.
For more information please contact us at womeninmm...@gmail.com

We look forward to meeting you and engaging with you in Halifax,

Erin Ashe, Amanda Bradford, Frances Robertson, Mridula Srinivasan, and
Maria Constanza Marchesi

   ~~
Women comprise approximately half of the Society of Marine Mammalogy’s
(SMM) membership and a similar proportion are first authors in Marine
Mammal Science.  However, like other STEM fields, women continue to be
underrepresented in career positions within the field of marine mammal
science, in the SMM, and similar professional societies.  In addition to
challenges faced by women seeking higher positions in STEM fields, women
face unique barriers to success when advancing in marine mammal science.

This workshop seeks first to identify these barriers to success and then to
present strategies that individuals and institutions (including the SMM)
can implement to break the barriers down.  Each of the two workshop
components will include a combination of presentations, panel discussions,
and breakout sessions that will feature a diverse group of women from a
range of career stages and countries working in different sectors of marine
mammal science, who can speak to the challenges and successes they have
experienced advancing in the field.  The specific topics will be refined by
a survey in advance of the workshop, but are likely to cover external and
internal barriers to seeking professional opportunities, grant writing,
publishing, conducting fieldwork, science communication, and - building on
the foundation established by Hooker et al. 2017
 - career-life
balance.

The goals of the workshop are to:

   1. Provide a set of tools that women can use to advance their careers in
   marine mammal science,
   2. Create a virtual international network for women in marine mammal
   science to offer support and mentorship,
   3. Make recommendations to the SMM on formalizing a statement and
   programs related to diversity and inclusion,
   4. Prepare a paper for submission to Marine Mammal Science summarizing
   the content and outcome of the workshop.


While the workshop will focus on women’s leadership in marine mammal
science, all conference participants are welcome to attend.

[MARMAM] New publication about humpback dolphins abundance, distribution and group dynamics in the Middle East.

2017-07-13 Thread Bruno Diaz Lopez
Dear colleagues,

My co-authors and I are pleased to announce that our latest article about 
humpback dolphins has been published in the Journal of the Marine Biological 
Association of the United Kingdom (JMBA).

Díaz López, B., Grandcourt, E., Methion, S., Das, H., Bugla, I., Al Hameli, M., 
Al Hameri, H., Abdulla, M; Al Blooshi, A; Al Dhaheri, S. (2017). The 
distribution, abundance and group dynamics of Indian Ocean humpback dolphins 
(Sousa plumbea) in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (UAE). Journal of the Marine 
Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1-9. doi:10.1017/S0025315417001205

Abstract: The Arabian Gulf is one of the most heavily impacted water bodies 
raising serious concerns about the conservation status of
many marine species. A limited coastal range and near-shore distribution make 
Indian Ocean humpback dolphins particularly
vulnerable to mortality and traumatic injuries from heavy maritime traffic and 
gill-netting practices. Prior to the present
study, no research had focused on the ecology of this species in the Arabian 
Gulf, despite the potential for human impacts. The
mark–recapture method of photo-identification, undertaken during 55 boat-based 
surveys conducted between 2014 and
2015, was used to assess the occurrence, abundance and use of habitat of this 
endangered species along the coast of the
Emirate of Abu Dhabi (UAE). In all, 368 h and 6703 km of observation were 
carried out over a period of 5 months, and
54 encounters were made with humpback dolphins. The group size ranged from 1 to 
24 individuals and group composition
showed that 79% of the observed dolphins were adults. Abundance estimates were 
calculated and fitted with open population
models. A review of all available data indicates that the studied population is 
the largest reported in the world with 701 (95%
CI ¼ 473–845) individuals. While their occurrence within Abu Dhabi near-shore 
waters is frequent, the survey area appears
to be only a part of a much larger home range for this humpback dolphin 
population. The observation of multiple threats
derived from anthropogenic activities increases our concerns regarding the 
conservation of this important dolphin population.
