The Blue Machine: How the Ocean Works
A Financial Times Best Science Book of 2023 “[A] profound, sparkling global ocean voyage.” —Andrew Robinson, Nature A scientist’s exploration of the "ocean engine"—the physics behind the ocean’s systems—and why it matters. All of Earth’s oceans, from the equator to the poles, are a single engine powered by sunlight, driving huge flows of energy, water, life, and raw materials. In The Blue Machine, physicist and oceanographer Helen Czerski illustrates the mechanisms behind this defining feature of our planet, voyaging from the depths of the ocean floor to tropical coral reefs, estuaries that feed into shallow coastal seas, and Arctic ice floes. Through stories of history, cult...
Estimating the Consequences of the 2006-07 Morbillivirus Epizootic on the Long-finned Pilot Whales in the Strait of Gibraltar
This study investigated the consequences of the 2006-07 Morbillivirus epizootic on the population of long-finned pilot whale (Globicephala melas) in the Strait of Gibraltar. Photo-identification techniques allowed estimating the basic life parameters of the pilot whale population in the Strait of Gibraltar. Survival rates were found to be 0.677 for calves, 0.861 for juveniles and 0.985 for adults in 1999-06 with a total abundance of 345 animals in 2006. The inter-calving interval was found to be 4.5 years (range 2-7). These life history parameters were first used to assess the viability of the pilot whale population before the Morbillivirus event over 100 years using PVA models. The populati...
