Microbial and small zooplankton communities predict density of baleen whales in the southern California Current Ecosystem

2025-09-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Understanding the density of marine mammals is important for assessing population dynamics and evaluating the impacts of human activities on these species. In this work, we examine microorganisms that may be ecologically associated, whether directly or indirectly, with baleen whales – the potential “ecological habitat” – to predict baleen whale densities via statistical relationships adjusted fo...
