TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the effects of anthropogenic noise on cetaceans has been published and their ability to document response(s), or the lack thereof, has improved.

TL;DR: This study provides an example of a presence-only habitat model used to inform the management of a species for which patterns of habitat availability are poorly understood and predicted locations of suitable spinner dolphin resting habitat indicate areas where future survey efforts should be focused and highlight potential areas of conflict with human activities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined cliff-top observations and boat-based surveys to describe the movements of fin and minke whales within a predictable island wake occurring near Grand Manan Island in the Bay of Fundy.

TL;DR: This work evaluates how urbanization influenced the foraging behavior and microbiome characteristics of breeding herring gulls at three different colonies on the east coast of the United States and represents the first application of amplicon sequence variants, an objective and repeatable method of bacterial classification, to study the microbiota of a seabird species.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the state of the knowledge on forecasting techniques and mechanisms underlying marine ecosystem predictability is presented, with a focus on coastal marine ecosystems surrounding North America (and the U.S. in particular).
