Evolutionary debunking arguments in ethics by Mogensen, A

“…However, I argue that a successful evolutionary debunking argument can be constructed by appeal to the suggestion that our moral outlook reflects arbitrary contingencies of our phylogeny, much as the horizontal orientation of the whale’s tail reflects its descent from terrestrial quadrupeds.…”

Molecular Characterization of Herpesviral Encephalitis in Cetaceans: Correlation with Histopathological and Immunohistochemical Findings by Eva Sierra, Antonio Fernández, Carolina Fernández-Maldonado, Simona Sacchini, Idaira Felipe-Jiménez, Simone Segura-Göthlin, Ana Colom-Rivero, Nakita Câmara, Raquel Puig-Lozano, Anna Maria Rambaldi, Cristian Suárez-Santana, Manuel Arbelo

“…We detected the presence of alpha and gamma-HVs in 12 out of 103 (11.6%) brain samples from stranded cetaceans of five different species: one bottlenose dolphin, six striped dolphins, three Atlantic spotted dolphins, one Cuvier’s beaked whale, and one common dolphin. Pathogenic factors such as viral strain, age, sex, and the presence of co-infections were analysed and correlated with the brain histopathological findings in each case. …”

Above and below: Military Aircraft Noise in Air and under Water at Whidbey Island, Washington by Lauren M. Kuehne, Christine Erbe, Erin Ashe, Laura T. Bogaard, Marena Salerno Collins, Rob Williams

“…Using a hydrophone deployed near one runway, we also detected sound signatures of aircraft at a depth of 30 m below the sea surface, with noise levels (134 ± 3 dB re 1 µPa rms) exceeding thresholds known to trigger behavioral changes in fish, seabirds, and marine mammals, including Endangered Southern Resident killer whales. Our study highlights challenges and problems in evaluating the implications of increased noise pollution from military operations, and knowledge gaps that should be prioritized with respect to understanding impacts on people and sensitive wildlife.…”
