Publications
by Scientific Staff and Collaborators of the Whale & Seabird Research
Station, New Brunswick
The bibliographies on this
web site include the majority of the professional work in the field of
Biology of the late Dr. David E. Gaskin, our Executive Director 1981-98.
Dr. Gaskin pursued throughout his life studying marine mammals during
the day (presented first) and moths at night (presented second).
Please contact Dr. Andy Read for marine
mammal reprints. Some reprints are no longer available, others are in short
supply.
We have also included the
work of our scientific staff and collaborators who have worked from the
Research Station or with our scientific staff. As we continue with
our research, we will continually update these pages to reflect our work.
