BACKGROUND: People living in coastal communities are at risk for exposure to environmental hazards, including legacy chemicals. We can use databases such as NHANES to assess whether contaminants in coastal communities are present in higher levels tha...
Both veterinarians caring for dolphins in managed populations and researchers monitoring wild populations use blood-based diagnostics to monitor bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) health. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) can be used to assess cytokine tr...

Odontocetes are capable of dynamically changing their echolocation clicks to efficiently detect targets, and learning their clicking strategy can facilitate the design of man-made detecting signals. In this study, we developed deep convolutional gene...
Monitoring dolphins in the open sea is essential for understanding their behavior and the impact of human activities on the marine ecosystems. Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) is a non-invasive technique for tracking dolphins, providing continuous d...
