3 SIO 133 Evaluation Criteria Midterm: 30% Term Paper: 30% Final Exam: 30% Section Participation: 10% Important Dates: Midterm: May 7 Term Paper Outline Due: May 11 Term Paper Due: June 1 Final Exam: June 14, 3 6 pm

4 SIO 133 Term Paper Detailed examination of a topic or species ~5 pages including citations Beyond level of material covered in class Uses information from the primary literature Scientific Journals or Monographs Marine Mammal Science

5 SIO 133 Goals of the Course Understand Marine Mammal diversity, evolution, physiology, ecology and behavior Challenges for mammals living in the sea Thermal regulation, diving hydrostatics Marine ecology, foraging Social systems, communication, reproduction Conservation and Management Whaling, fisheries interactions

6 Is the ocean homogenous?

7 Non-random distribution of animals Northern elephant seal distribution: Pupping on beaches Foraging in open ocean Yellow: females Red: males Tagging of Pacific predators (TOPP)

8 Marine Biozones and Light Zones

9 Vertical Profiles of Temperature and Nutrients MIXED LAYER

10 POLAR TEMPERATE SUBTROPICAL TROPICAL

11 Global Ocean Circulation Surface Subsurface COLD-CORE WARM-CORE

12 SEA SURFACE PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY Based on satellite data for ocean color

13 Ocean latitudinal zones (biomes)

14 Seasonal variability of ocean zones Temperate region Wind important factor

15

16 Coastal Upwelling in the Northern Hemishpere thermocline acts a a boundary for Eckman transport wind driven layers are contained to the mixed layer.

17 Coastal upwelling: Blue Whales California Current system Blue whale tracks Bailey et al Block et al. 2011

18 Marine Organism Lifestyles Plankton organisms float in the water with no ability to propel themselves. phytoplankton (plants) zooplankton (animals) Nekton - swimmers include fish, reptiles, mammals and others. Benthos organisms live on the bottom (epifauna) or within the bottom sediments (infauna). Some organisms change from being pelagic early in life and benthonic later.

19 Zooplankton Biomass

20 Benthic Biomass

21

22 Prey aggregation Affected by oceanographic features: fronts, eddies, ocean bottom Krill concentration Blue whale catches From Tynan et al. 1998

23 Marine Food Web Availability of food established by: - Primary production and number of trophic levels

24

25 Deep Scattering Layer Diel Vertical Migration

26 Deep Scattering Layer Diel Vertical Migration Klevjer et al Sci Reports Does vertical migration prevent marine mammal predation?

27 Marine Mammals Early Observations Aristotle ( BC) Historia Animalia describes dolphins, killer whales, baleen whales Konrad Gesner ( ) Historia Animalium Contained earliest drawings of marine mammals

28 Marine Mammal Science Emerged as a discipline in last years Expansion of literature papers/year papers/year papers/year papers/year Marine Mammal Science, Journal of Mammalogy, Canadian Journal of Zoology, Journal of Zoology, Fisheries Bulletin, Marine Ecology Progress Series..

29 Marine Mammal Science Study of Mammal Mammals Increasing technology Remote sensing acoustic, satellite time-depth recorders crittercams Molecular ecology systematics taxonomy Physiology

30 Systematics & Taxonomy Systematics - Study of biological diversity Taxonomy Is the practice of classification Phylogeny evolutionary history of a particular group of animals Why study? Framework for interpreting biological diversity

31 Taxonomy & Classification Taxonomy the description, identification, and classification of species Within past 10 years of work on Marine Mammal Taxa: 2 beaked whales described; 1 resurrected New dolphin species described 3 forms (subspecies) of Orcinus orca New balaenopterid species described

32 Pygmy beaked whale (Mesoplodon peruvianus)

33 Pygmy Bryde's Whale (Eden's Whale) Balaenoptera edeni Omura s Whale Balaenoptera omurai

34 Marine Mammal Systematics Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata SubPhylum Vertebrata + backbone + dorsal hollow nerve chord + bone/cartilage internal skeleton

35 Class Mammalia, 4000 species Viviparous Hair Lactation via the mammary gland 4 chambered heart Diphyodont dentition- 2 sets of teeth 7 cervical vertebrae 3 inner ear ossicles Respiratory system - diaphragm Endothermy

36 Platypus & Echidna Marsupials Scaly Anteaters Armadillos, Sloths, Anteaters Mammalian Orders Dogs, Cats, Bears, Weasels, Pinnipeds, Otters Shrews Elephant Shrews Rabbits, Hares, Pikas Mice, Rats Gorillas, Monkeys, Baboons, Humans Tree Shrews Flying Lemurs Bats Aardvarks Even-Toed Ungulates (Deer, Cows, etc.) Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises Odd-Toed Mammals (Horses, Rhinos) Hyraxes Manatees& Dugongs Elephants

37 Marine Mammal Taxonomic Groupings About 126 Species across 3 Orders Order Carnivoria (38 species) Polar bears, sea otters, seals, sea lions, walruses Order Cetacea (83 species) Baleen whales, toothed whales Order Sirenia (5 species) Manatees, dugongs
