    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 ...

    Prey preferences of sympatric fin (Balaenoptera physalus) and humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae) whales revealed by stable isotope mixing models 

    Ryan, Conor; Berrow, Simon; McHugh, Brendan; O'Donell, Ciaran; Trueman, Clive N.; O'Connor, Ian (2013)
    Over-exploitation of top predators and fish stocks has altered ecosystems towards less productive systems with fewer trophic levels. In the Celtic Sea (CS), discards and bycatch levels have prompted concern about some ...

    Short note: the first confirmed successful refloat of a stranded bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) in Ireland and subsequent resighting with a neonate 

    O'Brien, Joanne; Baker, Isabel; Barker, Joanna; Berrow, Simon; Ryan, Conor; O’Connell, Mick; O’Donoghue, Barry (2014-05)
    The article presents a study which discusses the refloating of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and the subsequent resighting with a neonate in Ireland. Topics include the live-stranding events of a bottlenose ...

    Accounting for the effects of lipids in stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N values) analysis of skin and blubber of balaenopterid whales. 

    Ryan, Conor; McHugh, Brendan; Trueman, Clive N.; Harrod, Chris; Berrow, Simon; O'Connor, Ian (John Wiley & Sons, 2012)
    RATIONALE: Stable isotope values (d13C and d15N) of darted skin and blubber biopsies can shed light on habitat use and diet of cetaceans, which are otherwise difficult to study. Non-dietary factors affect isotopic variability, ...

    Breeding habitat of poorly studied humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Boa Vista, Cape Verde 

    Ryan, Conor; Craid, Darren; Lopez-Suárez, Pedro; Vazquez Perez, Jose; O'Connor, Ian; Berrow, Simon (2013)
    The waters surrounding Cape Verde comprise one of two known breeding grounds for humpback whales in the North Atlantic. The population remains very small and has apparently failed to recover since the cessation of whaling ...

    A longitudinal study of humpback whales in Irish waters 

    Ryan, Conor; Whooley, Padraig; Berrow, Simon; Barnes, Colin; Massett, Nick; Strietman, Wouter J.; Broms, Fredrik; Stevick, Peter T.; Fernald, Thomas W. (Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2014)
    Knowledge on the ecology of humpback whales in the eastern North Atlantic is lacking by comparison with most other ocean basins. Humpback whales were historically over-exploited in the region and are still found in low ...

    High concentrations of persistent organic pollutants in adult killer whales (Orcinus orca) and a foetus stranded in Ireland 

    Schlingermann, Moira; Berrow, Simon; Craig, Darren; McHugh, Brendan; Marrinan, Michael; O'Brien, Joanne; O'Connor, Ian; Ryan, Conor; Mudzatsi, Engelbert; White, Philip (Elsevier Ltd., 2019-10-29)
    Bio-accumulation of persistent organic pollutants including polychlorinatedbiphenyls (PCBs), brominated flame retardants and organochlorine pesticides continue to be of major concern for marine apex predators such as killer ...

    A note on long-distance matches of bottlenose dolphins (tursiops truncatus) around the Irish coast using photo-identification 

    O'Brien, Joanne; Berrow, Simon; Ryan, Conor; McGrath, David; O'Connor, Ian; Giovanna, Pesante; Burrows, Gary; Massett, Nick; Klotzer, Vanessa; Whooley, Padraig (International Whaling Commission, 2009-01)
    Images of 120 individual bottlenose dolphins from around the Irish coast were obtained from three photo-identification catalogues. Twenty three individuals were subsequently re-sighted, which is a re-sighting rate of 19%. ...

    An abundance estimate for humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae breeding around Boa Vista, Cape Verde Islands 

    Ryan, Conor; Wenzel, Frederick W.; López-Suárez, Pedro; Berrow, Simon (2014)
    The abundance of humpback whales occurring around Boa Vista, Cape Verde Islands, was estimated by mark-recapture modelling. Photographs of markings on tail flukes of individual whales were collected during the breeding ...
