New science out: Led by Rodrigo Tardin and Guilherme Maricato with the participation of 50 other scientists from six countries, this work shows how a coastal dolphin species occurring in tropical waters could be affected by climate change. Guiana dolphins might just lose nearly 50% of their suitable habitats. Marine Protected Areas will obviously fail in safeguarding dolphins now but even more in the future.

Our lab just completed our second field season in northern Norway to deploy satellite-linked transmitters on long-finned pilot whales, killer whales and s***m whales. 11 tags were deployed, over 20 biopsy samples and lots of data collected! Thank you so much to our collaborators at Whale2Sea and at the university of Tromsø! Norway has been so amazing, as usual!!

Yesterday, we tested and deployed our newest biologging device that records high resolution videos, depth, acceleration, temperature, position and orientation… but also sounds! We tested the device on 3 beluga whales for at least 30 minutes each. Results were amazing and we will soon deploy these tags on free ranging pilot whales next month in northern Norway! Thank you to the team of SeaWorld San Antonio for helping us in making this happen and to their amazing whales! Belugas are so special! SeaWorld San Antonio

This year, we started our new research project on the movements of male s***m whales in northern Norway in collaboration with Whale2Sea, the University of Tromsø and the Norwegian Polar Institute. Already 12 whales tagged and more to come during our next field expedition in June! Lab PI J. Kiszka also got a chance to experience dog sledding during his last day! 📷 A. Rikardsen and J. Kiszka

Proud of Grace Obiyo, PhD student, representing our lab at the SETAC (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry) meeting in Texas! She is presenting her work on emerging contaminants (PFAS) in small cetacean tissues used for human consumption in the Caribbean.

We are looking for 4 outstanding undergraduate students and 2 graduate students to participate in an International Research Experience for Students Program (IRES), funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). This is a research training program in wildlife conservation in the Caribbean archipelago of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Two groups will be recruited: one working on cetaceans and another working on parrots (led by Dr. Cristina Gomes).

The NSF IRES Wildlife Conservation Training Program in the Caribbean is a 1-year program (3 credits) for undergraduate and graduate students. The goal of this program is to help train the next generation of wildlife conservationists at a time when they are most needed. We seek to provide students with high-quality research, conservation and professional development opportunities in wildlife ecology and conservation. The unique combination of research and applied conservation work led by IoE scientists, and the cultural knowledge and local research experience of partners in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, will serve as a platform for students to acquire proficient research and conservation skills, be involved in publications and participate in conferences, network with key conservation leaders, and partake in successful human development and outreach programs.

The deadline to apply is October 30th, 2024 (11:59pm, EDT). Please share this announcement to your students, both graduate and undergraduate. For more information and to apply, please visit:

Congratulations to Dr. Jessica Cardé who completed her PhD last year in our lab, and who will start as a postdoctoral researcher with us for the next two years! Jessica received a prestigious fellowship from the National Science Foundation to investigate the natural and anthropogenic drivers of habitat use of bottlenose dolphins in Biscayne Bay.
