Static species distribution models in the marine realm: the case of baleen whales in the Southern Ocean

Aim: Information on the spatiotemporal distribution of marine species is essential for developing proactive management strategies. However, sufficient information is seldom available at large spatial scales, particularly in polar areas. The Southern …

Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) distribution modelling in the Nordic Seas & adjacent waters

Understanding the dynamics of cetacean distribution in ecologically vulnerable regions is essential to interpret the impact of environmental changes on species ecology and ecosystem functioning. Species distribution models (SDMs) are helpful tools …

Modelling habitat suitability of whales in the Southern Ocean

Detailed information on cetacean distribution is crucial to identify large-scale conservation actions and management decisions. Understanding the ecological drivers behind their spatial patterns in the Southern Ocean is complicated by whales’ …
