In this episode, we are speaking with Dr. Dawn Barlow all about the biggest animal on the planet, the Blue Whale!Dawn is an assistant professor and senior researcher with the Geospatial Ecology of Marine Megafauna Laboratory at the Marine Mammal Institute of Oregon State University.Dawn’s research interests are in the ecology and conservation of pelagic predators, seabirds, and particularly cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises). She studies what drives when and where these animals can be found and how their distribution overlaps with human activities, using tools such as distribution modeling and spatial statistics, bioacoustics, and oceanography.This is the fourth episode of our series on some of the biggest and most impactful animals or ecosystems on the planet.And any animal that is categorised as a ‘rorqual’ is surely an animal to talk about.And why do we call them blue whales?Thanks for listening, and lots of love.Episode Time Stamps: Introduction: 00:16Interview: 6:08Show Notes:https://mmi.oregonstate.edu/people/dawn-barlow🔎 Please find out more info and message us at: Website: www.kindredpodcast.coBlueSky: @thekindredpod.bsky.socialYouTube: @TheKindredPodcastInstagram: @thekindredpod Facebook: @Kindred ☕️ Please support us at Buy Me A Coffee or Subscribe on Apple Podcasts.✏️ Please follow, rate, and review - wherever you listen to your podcasts.💚 Thanks.
