Asset Tracking Whales—First Deployment of a Custom-Made GPS/GSM Suction Cup Tag on Migrating Humpback Whales

The study of marine mammals is greatly enhanced through fine scale data on habitat use.Here we used a commonly available asset tracker Global Positioning System/Global Systems for Mobile Communication (GPS/GSM) integrated into a CATS suction cup tag to test its feasibility in providing real time location position on migrating humpback whales in coa

The evolution of vertebrate somatostatin receptors and their gene regions involves extensive chromosomal rearrangements

Abstract Background Somatostatin and its related neuroendocrine peptides have a wide variety of physiological puffy spa headband functions that are mediated by five somatostatin receptors with gene names SSTR1-5 in mammals.To resolve their evolution in vertebrates we have investigated the SSTR genes and a large number of adjacent gene families by p
