The faculty of the Marine Mammal Institute have been very productive. In 2006, we had two new faculty join the group as principal investigators - Markus Horning and C. Scott Baker. Investigator names associated with the Marine Mammal Institute are indicated in this publication list in bold. A complete listing of each lab's publications can be found on their respective lab pages.
