Multi-modal survey of Adélie penguin mega-colonies reveals the Danger Islands as a seabird hotspot.

TL;DR: The Danger Islands appear to have avoided recent declines documented on the Western AP and, because they are large and likely to remain an important hotspot for avian abundance under projected climate change, deserve special consideration in the negotiation and design of Marine Protected Areas in the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerial-trained deep learning networks for surveying cetaceans from satellite imagery.
Alex Borowicz,Hieu Le,Grant R. W. Humphries,Georg Nehls,Caroline Höschle,Vladislav Kosarev,Heather J. Lynch +6 more
TL;DR: While the resolution of commercially-available satellite imagery continues to make whale identification a challenging problem, this approach provides the means to efficiently eliminate areas without whales and, in doing so, greatly accelerates ocean surveys for large cetaceans.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global population assessment of the Chinstrap penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica).
Noah Strycker,Michael Wethington,Alex Borowicz,Steve Forrest,Chandi Witharana,Tom Hart,Heather J. Lynch +6 more
TL;DR: The first comprehensive global population assessment of Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) at 3.42 million breeding pairs across 375 extant colonies is assembled, with findings that identify five new colonies, and 21 additional colonies previously unreported and likely missed by previous surveys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Update on the global abundance and distribution of breeding Gentoo Penguins ( Pygoscelis papua)
TL;DR: The assessment identifies South Georgia and sub-Antarctic islands in the Indian Ocean as being the most critical data gaps for this species and suggests that the global population has increased by approximately 11% since 2013, with even greater increases along the WAP.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Potential of Satellite Imagery for Surveying Whales.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the future directions in which VHR satellite imagery might be used to address urgent questions in whale conservation and highlight the current challenges to automated detection and to extending the use of this technology to all oceans and various whale species.
