Marine animal studies overview
Marine animal studies overview is a research topic within Ecology. Science Explorer counts 36k research works in it since 1950. 22.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the ecology, behavior, and conservation of marine mammals, with a focus on the impacts of anthropogenic noise, habitat change, and climate change on cetaceans. It also delves into predator-prey interactions, acoustic communication, and the role of marine mammals as indicators of ecosystem health. The research emphasizes the need for conservation efforts to mitigate human-induced threats to these animals.
