Saving the Whales: Lessons from the Extinction of the Eastern Arctic Bowhead

“…In this article we investigate the possibility that a regulatory regime designed to maximize the profitability of the early Dutch whaling industry could have simultaneously guaranteed the biological sustainability of the eastern Arctic Bowhead whale. …”

Remarks on whale cultures from a complex systems perspective by Mayer-Kress, G, Porter, M

“…We argue that a complex, adaptive systems approach not only can provide such a framework but also can contribute advanced data analysis and simulation methods. For humpback whale songs, we suggest the framework of "small-world networks" to model the observed spatio-temporal dynamics.…”

The discovery of a natural whale fall in the Antarctic deep sea by Amon, D, Glover, A, Wiklund, H, Marsh, L, Linse, K, Rogers, A, Copley, J

“…Using Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) videography, we have quantified the composition and abundance of fauna on the whale bones, and tested a hypothesis that varying concentrations of lipids in the bones of whales may influence the microdistribution of sulfophilic whale-fall fauna. …”

Pharming animals: a global history of antibiotics in food production (1935-2017) by Kirchhelle, C

“…Since their advent during the 1930s, antibiotics have not only had a dramatic impact on human medicine, but also on food production. On farms, whaling and fishing fleets as well as in processing plants and aquaculture operations, antibiotics were used to treat and prevent disease, increase feed conversion, and preserve food. …”

Moving from small science to big science: Social and organizational impediments to large scale data sharing by Meyer, E

“…The data for the paper is drawn from two cases: a systematic study of a humpback whale research project involving federating data about the population and movements of humpbacks in the Pacific Ocean, and observations based on the author’s personal experiences as part of a psychiatric genetics collaboration that has recently become involved in contributing data to a large, shared data repository. …”
