Extremely proud of @wild-devs.bsky.social first first-author publication. Devonne showed sexual segregation and stable pregnancy rates in minke whales sampled in the Gulf of St. Lawrence between 2007-2015 @jlkershaw.bsky.social @leverhulme.ac.uk @meps-ir.bsky.social

🎉 Excited to share my 1st first-author paper has been published in @meps-ir.bsky.social

We used biopsy samples to investigate population demographics & ecophysiology of free-ranging #minkewhales in the northern Gulf of St Lawrence

New research reveals the extraordinary energy demands of humpback whale mothers, who travel over 3,000 miles without food to birth and nourish their 2,600-pound calves, a feat now further imperiled by climate change and marine heatwaves disrupting their critical food supply.

New paper from my PhD provides genomic evidence that white shark livers are on the menu for Aussie killer whales!

Great article on using hormone analysis from baleen to infer how #whales responded to the resumption of #whaling.

Stress hormones rose in whales in the first year that whaling resumed post WWII - even in those that weren't killed that year.
