"Marine mammals are sentinels of the sea. When dolphins and whales show signs
of stress or illness, it often signals deeper problems in the ocean ecosystems
we all depend on.
But assessing the health of dolphins and whales is notoriously difficult.
That’s because they spend most of their lives underwater, move over vast areas,
and cannot be examined closely without causing stress or disturbance.
Our new research provides a promising solution to this problem. Published in
the
Journal of Thermal Biology, it shows how drone-mounted thermal cameras
can help monitor dolphins’ vital signs such as skin temperature and breathing
patterns."
