An Investigation into the Distribution, Residency Patterns, Population Connectivity, and Abundance of Blue Whales (Balaenoptera musculus) in New Zealand

Creator:

Barlow, Dawn R.

Abstract:

Species conservation depends on robust population assessment. Data on population abundance, distribution, and connectivity are critical for effective management, especially as baseline information for newly documented populations.

Soil quality measurements can be used to monitor short- and long-term changes in these soil functions, allowing managers to...
