Did you know? @SMUScience professor Dr. Timothy Frasier is leading a groundbreaking project to update the DNA database of the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. 🐋🔬🌊 Learn about this important research: news.smu.ca/news/2025/1/29/s… #WorldWithoutLimits
We're excited to share the newest publication by one of our PhD Candidates, Richard Orton, discussing genomic evidence of purging in the North Atlantic right whale onlinelibrary-wiley-com.libr…
Thanks to @rushdhill for the incredible artwork used to summarize this research!

Another critically endangered North Atlantic right whale has been found suffering from a severe entanglement in what appears to be fishing gear. This male, known oddly as Dropcloth, was found in Canada's Gulf of St. Lawrence, according to Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

The 20th #NorthAtlanticRightWhale calf of the '23-'24 season has been spotted! 💙
Right whale mom "Pico" (#3270), identified by #AndersonCabotCenter scientists, was seen off the VA coast on June 1, with a previously unknown calf.

North Atlantic right whale #1950, one of this year's mothers, has been found dead. Read the update from @NOAAFisheries.
On March 30, we were notified of a dead North Atlantic right whale floating approximately 50 miles offshore of Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia. The whale has been identified as adult female #1950—she gave birth to her 6th calf this winter: bit.ly/4cychoO

Since Jan 2024, when Juno's calf was first seen with severe propeller injuries consistent with a #VesselStrike, there has been concern it would not survive. Last week, the calf was reported deceased.
