Exploring the relationship between dolphins and fisheries: uncovering the spatial and temporal patterns that influence potential conflicts along Portugal's north coast

This study maps spatial and temporal overlaps between common dolphin sightings and fishing activity along Portugal's north coast using AIS data and environmental variables.

Time to Potential Collision: A Dynamic Approach To Study Vessel-Whale Close Encounters

This study redefines and quantifies close encounters (CEs) between vessels and whales in the Eastern North Atlantic using Time to Potential Collision (TPC) as a dynamic metric, finding that TPC is influenced by species, vessel type, weather, and observer experience.

Environmental DNA as a complementary tool for biodiversity monitoring: A multi-technique and multi-trophic approach to investigate cetacean distribution and feeding ecology

This study uses environmental DNA to characterize cetacean communities and their prey in coastal waters, finding similar results to visual surveys and identifying year-round presence.
