Assessment of fecal steroid and thyroid hormone metabolites in eastern North Pacific gray whales

Creator:

Lemos, Leila S., Olsen, Amy, Smith, Angela, Chandler, Todd E., Larson, Shawn, Hunt, Kathleen, and Torres, Leigh G.

Abstract:

Baleen whale fecal samples have high potential for endocrine monitoring, which can be used as a non-invasive tool to identify the physiological response to disturbance events and describe population health and vital rates. In this study, we used commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to validate and quantify fecal steroid (progestins, androgens...

Body Condition and Hormone Assessment of Eastern North Pacific Gray Whales (Eschrichtius robustus) and Associations with Ambient Noise

Creator:

Lemos, Leila S.

Abstract:

Anthropogenic activities have posed many threats to the oceans and marine life. Understanding how individuals are affected and physiologically respond to these threats is crucial and allows for management and conservation applications. I evaluated the overall health condition of a subpopulation of gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) along the Oregon coast,...
