International Conference on Marine Mammal Ecology and Environmental Stressors (ICMMEES - 27)

This session will explore the factors influencing population dynamics in marine mammal species, including reproductive rates, mortality, and migration patterns. Emphasis will be placed on modeling techniques and their application in conservation efforts.

This track will address the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems, focusing on shifts in species distribution, habitat loss, and ecosystem services. Contributions will highlight adaptive strategies employed by marine mammals in response to environmental changes.

This session will investigate the various anthropogenic stressors affecting marine mammal habitats, including pollution, shipping, and coastal development. Research presented will aim to identify mitigation strategies to enhance habitat resilience.

This track will focus on the application of ecological modeling techniques to inform marine conservation strategies. Participants will discuss case studies that illustrate the effectiveness of modeling in predicting population trends and habitat requirements.

This session will delve into the behavioral ecology of marine mammals, examining social structures, foraging behaviors, and communication strategies. Insights gained will contribute to understanding how behavior influences survival and reproduction in changing environments.

This track will explore the relationship between marine biodiversity and the ecosystem services provided by marine mammals. Presentations will highlight the importance of biodiversity for ecological health and human well-being.
