[MARMAM] New publication on humpback whales in the Sainte Marie Channel, Madagascar

[Laurène Trudelle]

Dear all,

On behalf of all co-authors, I am pleased to announce the publication of
the following paper:

L Trudelle, JB Charrassin, A Saloma, S Pous, A Kretzschmar & O Adam
(2018). First
insights on spatial and temporal distribution patterns of humpback whales
in the breeding ground at Sainte Marie Channel, Madagascar, African Journal
of Marine Science, 40:1, 75-86, DOI: 10.2989/1814232X.2018.1445028

The Sainte Marie Channel on the northeast coast of Madagascar is an
important breeding ground for humpback whales; the first observation of
birth was documented there, yet it has never been investigated for
phenology and habitat use of humpback whales. The present study was aimed
at examining temporal and spatial distribution patterns and the encounter
rate of different social groups of humpback whales during the breeding
season. We used a large set of opportunistic sightings data collected from
whale-watching boats. A total of 3 247 sightings were collected during 897
whale-watching trips conducted between June and September from 2009 to
2013. Our study complements previous information on the seasonal presence
of humpback whale social groups by demonstrating a persistent and
well-structured temporal pattern in the succession of the different groups.
Over the different years of the study period, groups without calves
consistently dominated the first 30 days of the breeding season, followed
by an increase in groups with calves. Interannual differences were observed
in the encounter rates, with significantly higher global encounter rates in
2009, 2011 and 2013 (2.2, 2.3 and 2.3 sightings h–1, respectively), and
likewise for the mean encounter rates for groups with calves. In contrast,
the encounter rate of groups without calves was similar over the study
period. Although our study area exhibits a narrow configuration and poorly
contrasting physiographic features due to its restricted spatial extent, we
report a spatially segregated pattern of humpback whale social groups in
the Sainte Marie Channel. A general linear model showed that groups with
calves were influenced by water depth and distance from shore, being
observed mostly in shallow waters (to 20 m depth) and close to the
coastline (6 km). Our findings will be useful for the development of
strategic sustained management plans by providing baseline information on
humpback whale distribution at an important but poorly documented breeding
site.

[MARMAM] Quantitative geographic ecology using R: modelling genomes, niches, and communities

[Oliver Hooker]

Quantitative geographic ecology using R: modelling genomes, niches, and
communities (QGER01)

Delivered by Dan Warren and Matt Fitzpatrick, this course will take
place in Glasgow city centre from 30th April - 4th May

Full details can be found at

www.prstatistics.com/course/quantitative-geographic-ecology-using-r-modelling-genomes-niches-and-communities-qger01/

This course is well-suited to anyone working one marine mammals at a 
species or community level


Course Overview:
Spatial modelling is increasingly being used in ecology and evolutionary
biology for both basic and applied research questions. While emphasis
traditionally has been on species-level niche modelling, the increasing
availability of genomic and community-level data has increased interest
in modelling biodiversity patterns above and below the species level.
This 5-day course will provide a thorough introduction to different
spatial modelling techniques for quantifying and visualizing patterns of
biodiversity across scales of biological organization - from
population-level genetic variation, to species ecological niches, to
communities. Students will learn about theory, common data types, and
statistical techniques used in these different applications.
The course will include introductory lectures, guided computer coding in
R, and exercises for the participants, with an emphasis on visualization
and reproducible workflows. All modelling and data manipulation will be
performed with R. Attendees will learn to use niche modelling algorithms
including Maxent, GLM, GAM, and others, and will learn both new and
existing methods for conducting comparative studies using ENMs in the
new ENMTools R package.  Generalized Dissimilarity Modelling (GDM) and
Gradient Forest (GF) will be taught for modelling genomic and
community-level data. The course is intended for intermediate R users
with interest in quantitative geographical ecology.

After successfully completing this course students will:
1) Understand the theory underlying ENMs and the critical assumptions
necessary to the modelling process.
2) Be able to develop, evaluate, and apply ENMs both in the context of
conservation-oriented studies and to study niche evolution.
3) Understand the statistical underpinnings of GDM and GF
4) Be able to develop, evaluate and apply GDM and GF for quantifying and
mapping spatial genetic patterns and community-level compositional
variation
5) Assess population- and community-level vulnerability to climate
change

[MARMAM] Animal Training Internship (Fall)

[Katherine Burton]

IMMS Animal Training Internship
Fall: August 2018 - November 2018
Deadline: June 1, 2018

The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies ("IMMS") is a 501(c)(3) non-profit 
organization established in 1984 for the purposes of public education, 
conservation, and research on marine mammals in the wild and under human care. 
Located in Gulfport, Mississippi, IMMS has been an active participant of the 
National Stranding Network since its inception. IMMS is the premier stranding 
organization in the Mississippi-Louisiana-Alabama region of the Gulf Coast with 
the capability and expertise to care for sick and injured marine mammals. IMMS 
serves as an important educational outlet for the Mississippi Gulf Coast, 
incorporating programs for conservation, education and research of marine 
mammals and their environment.

Program Description
The IMMS Animal Training Internship Program is designed as a way for 
students/individuals interested in a career in animal care and training to gain 
valuable experience in a real-world setting. Interns will primarily be trained 
in aspects of animal care, but will also participate in other activities at 
IMMS. Our goal is to give interns a well-rounded experience in a variety of 
areas while providing expert training and experience. This is an unpaid 
position and all interns are responsible for their own housing and 
transportation.

Duties
The IMMS animal care and training staff is in charge of caring for Atlantic 
bottlenose dolphins, California sea lions, and large parrots. Interns will work 
directly with animal care staff and be exposed to all aspects of the daily 
routine. Heavy emphasis is placed on basic tasks such as food preparation, and 
daily cleaning and facility maintenance. Interns will learn how to train 
animals with operant conditioning through observation and may assist during 
sessions. Interns will also complete a project during their internship, give 
educational presentations to guests before they interact with our animals, as 
well as help staff with daily water quality. Because we want interns to have a 
well-rounded experience, they will also be asked to assist in other 
departments. Interns may participate as 1) environmental educators and assist 
in giving presentations to the public, 2) research assistants that help with 
our many wild dolphin based research studies, or 3) emergency responders as 
IMMS is part of the Southeast Regional Marine Mammal Stranding Network and 
responds to stranded marine mammals and sea turtles.

The Nova Atlantis Foundation (www.nova-atlantis.org
)
is preparing its 19th fieldwork season, dedicated to studying the social
ecology of the Risso´s dolphin around Pico island. Next to the continuation
of the Risso project we will conduct cetacean monitoring surveys, focusing
on the deep diving species such as pilot whales and beaked whales. Pico
island is an excellent area to learn and gain experience at sea and to
observe over 15 species of cetaceans during the summer season.

We are seeking volunteers and/or (biology) students for the period June to
September. Candidates should be available for at least 2 months. We may
make exceptions for potential participants to apply for a shorter
placement. Volunteers must be self-motivated, with the drive and
determination to work independently and responsibly, and with a true
interest in marine conservation and animal behaviour.



The internship includes:



- An intensive training on monitoring protocol,

cetacean identification and data processing

- Sea-surveys (using a drone) and land based data collection

- Data processing

- Additional work e.g. boat cleaning and preparation,

maintenance of the observation post (cutting weeds).



The 2-month internship requires a payment of 750 € to cover running field
work costs.

Expenses for travelling to and from the field worksite, accommodation and
food are not included in this fee. The Nova Atlantis Foundation offers
accommodation in collaboration with a local family in Santa Cruz das
Ribeiras (175 EUR per month, all inclusive-ex food). Interns are free to
find their own accommodation in the Ribeiras area as well.



Fieldwork is highly weather dependent and requires consecutive long days of
work at sea and from land. On a typical field day, we split the team in a
land crew and a sea crew and work in shifts allowing all to rotate and gain
experience in several methodologies. We use rough weather days for data
entry or as a day off.



Application deadline is the 21 th of April, 2017.

To apply please send a short letter (state which period you prefer) and a
short CV to: oceanwa...@gmail.com.
