A new tool to identify 24 species of whales and dolphins was created using facial recognition technology which can identify individual mammals in the wild.
When herbivores are in low abundance, coral reefs are overgrown with seaweeds and begin to suffocate and die.
Scientists revealed a strategy for choosing a set of key coral species that will best maintain ecosystem functions critical for reef health.
Using drone photographs, researchers from UH Mānoa are now able to determine the age-structure of free-ranging dolphin groups.
Coral sperm will be stored using cryopreservation, which is a process that freezes to preserve them.
Âé¶¹´«Ã½ high school students learned about marine mammal science at the UH Summer Marine Mammal Intensive Learning Experience on Moku o Loʻe.
The event showcased the work of 15 undergraduate and graduate haumāna for an audience of more than 100 participants.
By developing novel deep learning algorithms, coral ecologists at UH Mānoa are now able to identify and measure reef halos from space.
These sharks are warm water animals but feed at depths where seawater temperatures are around 40°F, yet they need to keep their bodies warm to hunt effectively.
