Whales and Dolphins (Marine Animals by Panini), Part 1

So after spending so long on a single company, reviewing in-depth every figure by Replica Toy Fish…why not work on a (nearly) entire series from a different company!? This time, I’m going to work through the marine figures produced by Italian company Panini. I will be approaching it differently–the figures are very small, and very stylized, so a relatively brief overview will be more […]

Hope for Blue #Whales : Underwater Audio Suggests Population Recovery.

New underwater audio data indicates that #bluewhale populations may stabilise after centuries of whaling. This is a promising sign that these magnificent creatures are on the mend.

The recovery of this incredible species is fantastic news, and the whales seem to be singing about their improved prospects. #BlueWhales #WildlifeRecovery #OceanConservation

#Scientists weigh up current status of #BlueWhale populations around the world https://phys.org/news/2024-03-scientists-current-status-blue-whale.html

Global #conservation #genomics of #BlueWhales calls into question subspecies #taxonomy and refines knowledge of population structure https://zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acv.12935

"The study found no evidence of #inbreeding, which is good news for the potential recovery of subspecies and populations."
