Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Integration of individual-based and population-based studies is essential to understanding effects of pollution on populations and ecosystems. Here we provide an example of such integration from our exploration of effects on the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS) on river otters (Lontra canadensis) inhabiting the terrestrial-marine interface in Prince William Sound, Alaska, USA. Our research was divided into 2 phases: an early phase (1989-92) immediately following the oil spill; and a late phase (1996-99), which focused on potential chronic effects of oil contamination in the Sound. We used a variety of measurements that considered the physiological status and health of individual river otters, as well as aspects of their ecology, behavior, and demography. We then conducted meta-analysis to explore interactions between individual-based and population-level data in demonstrating injury and subsequent recovery of otters from ill effects of EVOS. During both phases of our studies, we first conducted intensive research at 2 study sites, which we believed to be oil and non-oiled, and then expanded our investigations throughout similar areas of Prince William Sound. Nonetheless, our data are best interpreted as differences between heavily oiled areas and lightly oiled sites because later information indicated that our reference sites were lightly oiled. Thus we refer to heavily oiled sites as oiled and lightly oil sites as 'nonoiled'"--Page 1

Book Marine Mammals and the Exxon Valdez

Download or read book Marine Mammals and the Exxon Valdez written by Thomas R. Loughlin and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The oil spill disaster that occurred when the Exxon Valdez ran aground has become part of the iconography of ecological disaster. This book synthesizes previously confidential data only recently released by the U.S. government. The data concerns the effects of this nightmarish spill on marine mammals, such as sea otters, harbor seals, killer whales, and humpback whales. Because many of the book's contributors were on site within 24 hours of this 11 million gallon catastrophe, the book is a unique longitudinal study of the demise of an ecosystem due to a single acute environmental perturbation.These certain-to-be-influential results reported here should assist marine biologists, pathologists, toxicologists, environmentalists, engineers, and coastal planners in assessing the nature of this now legendary disaster.
