Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the Cape Verde Islands: Migratory Patterns, Resightings, and Abundance

Wenzel, Frederick W.; Broms, Fredrick; López-Suárez, Pedro; Lopes, Katia; Veiga, Nadia; Yeoman, Kate; Delgado Rodrigues, Manuel Simão; Allen, Judy; Fernald, Thomas W.; Stevick, Peter T.; Jones, Lindsey; Jann, Beatrice; Bouveret, Laurent; Ryan, Conor; Berrow, Simon; Corkeron, Peter (2020-01)

Effective conservation of the endangered North Atlantic humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) which breeds in the eastern North Atlantic around the Cape Verde Islands off West Africa requires information about their ...

Levels of persistent organic pollutants in eastern north Atlantic humpback whales

Ryan, Conor; McHugh, Brendan; Boyle, Brian; McGovern, Evin; Bérubé, Martine; López-Suárez, Pedro; Elfes, Cristiane T.; Boyd, Daryle T.; Ylitalo, Gina M.; Van Blaricom, Glenn R.; Clapham, Phillip J.; Robbins, Jooke; Palsbøll, Per J.; O’Connor, Ian; Berrow, Simon (2013)

Blubber lipid concentrations of 14 organochlorine compounds and 10 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) were measured by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection in eastern North Atlantic humpback whales Megaptera ...

Legacy and emerging contaminants in common guillemot Uria aalge eggs in Ireland and Wales

Power, Andrew; White, Philip; McHugh, Brendan; McGovern, Evin; Murphy, Sinéad; Berrow, Simon; Schlingermann, Moira; Gately, Cillian; Tannian, Marissa; Newton, Stephen; Crowley, Denis; O'Hea, Linda; Boyle, Brian; O'Connor, Ian (Elsevier Ltd, 2021-06-12)

Guillemot eggs from multiple Irish colonies and one Welsh colony were analysed for legacy pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and other organochlorine compounds (OCs), ...

Spatio-temporal genetic tagging of a cosmopolitan planktivorous shark provides insight to gene flow, temporal variation and site-specific re-encounters

Lieber, Lilian; Hall, Graham; Hall, Jackie; Berrow, Simon; Johnston, Emmett; Gubili, Chrysoula; Sarginson, Jane; Francis, Malcolm; Duffy, Clinton; Wintner, Sabine P.; Doherty, Philip D.; Godley, Brendan J.; Hawkes, Lucy A.; Witt, Matthew J.; Henderson, Suzanne M.; De Sabata, Eleonora; Shivji, Mahmood S.; Dawson, Deborah A.; Sims, David W.; Jones, Catherine S.; Noble, Leslie R. (Springer Nature, 2020-02-03)

Migratory movements in response to seasonal resources often influence population structure and dynamics. Yet in mobile marine predators, population genetic consequences of such repetitious behaviour remain inaccessible ...

Strong and lasting impacts of past global warming on baleen whales and their prey

Cabrera, Andrea A.; Schall, Elena; Bérubé, Martine; Anderwald, Pia; Bachmann, Lutz; Berrow, Simon; Best, Peter B.; Clapham, Philip J.; Cunha, Haydée A.; Dalla Rosa, Luciano; Dias, Carolina; Findlay, Kenneth P.; Haug, Tore; Heide-Jørgensen, Mads Peter; Hoelzel, A.

(Wiley, 2022-02-02)

Global warming is affecting the population dynamics and trophic interactions across a wide range of ecosystems and habitats. Translating these real-time effects into their long-term consequences remains a challenge. The ...

Density estimates of harbour porpoises phocoena phocoena at eight coastal sites in Ireland

Berrow, Simon; Hickey, Ronan; O'Connor, Ian; McGrath, David (2014)

Single platform line-transect surveys with distance sampling were carried out at eight sites between July and September 2008 to derive density and abundance estimates of harbour porpoises. Over 37 days at sea, a total of ...

Acoustic Monitoring of a Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) Population: Trends in Presence and Foraging beyond the Limits of the Lower River Shannon SAC

Charish, Rachel; Berrow, Simon; O'Brien, Joanne (MDPI Journals, 2021-06-12)

The Shannon dolphins are a population of bottlenose dolphins resident year round within the Lower River Shannon SAC, Ireland, which has been designated to protect this relatively small, genetically discrete population. ...

Insights into the trophic ecology of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Irish waters

Milian-Hernandez, Gema; Berrow, Simon; Santos, Begoña M.; Reid, David; Rogan, Emer (2015)

The stomach contents of 12 bottlenose dolphins were examined. Ten of the 11 samples originated from dolphins that stranded on the west coast of Ireland between 1999 and 2011, while the remaining dolphin was bycaught. Ten ...

Persistent pollutants in fresh and abandoned eggs of Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) and Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) in Ireland

Power, Andrew; White, Philip; McHugh, Brendan; Berrow, Simon; Schlingermann, Moira; McKeown, Aaron; Cabot, David; Tannian, Marissa; Newton, Stephen; McGovern, Evin; Murphy, Sinéad; Crowley, Denis; O'Hea, Linda; Boyle, Brian; O'Connor, Ian (Elsevier Ltd, 2-05-03)

Higher levels of persistent pollutants (Σ16PCB, Σ6PBDE, ΣHCH, ΣDDT, ΣCHL) were detected in fresh eggs of Common Terns Sterna hirundo from Rockabill Island near Dublin (Ireland's industrialised capital city) compared to ...

Fine-scale spatial association between baleen whales and forage fish in the Celtic Sea

Volkenandt, Mareike; O’Connor, Ian; Guarini, Jean-Marc; Berrow, Simon; O’Donnell, Ciaran (2015-09)

Baleen whales can be regularly observed in the Celtic Sea; however, little is known about their local foraging behaviour. This study's objective was to determine whether or not baleen whales selectively prey upon particular ...
