Details are available at An exciting outcome of establishing this database was the discovery of a new species of beaked whales, Mesoplodon perrini (Dalebout et al. One of the recent initiatives of Scott’s research group has been to establish a web-based program for identification of whales, dolphins and porpoises using applied bioinformatics and a validated database of DNA sequences.

These tools complement and extend, rather than replace, demographic methods used in animal ecology and conservation biology.

LAUREL AND HARDY COLLECTION AMAZON SCOTT T. RIVERS PLUS
The advent of molecular genetics and the emerging fields of genomics and bioinformatics have provided powerful new tools to describe the hierarchical structure of biodiversity. The Laurel and Hardy Collection, Volume Two contains the Twentieth Century-Fox films A-Haunting We Will Go, The Dancing Masters, and The Bullfighters, plus extras: trailers, a mini-documentary, a rare complete print of the color short The Tree in a Test Tube, and audio commentaries for the three feature films by Scott MacGillivray. Scott is particularly interested in projects that bring together both molecular and demographic approaches to improve the conservation of these species. The Laurel And Hardy Collection will be a two-disc set from Warner Home Video featuring the The Devil’s Brother and Bonnie Scotland, (both newly restored from original nitrate film elements) and a number of bonus features. Scott Baker is broadly interested in the evolutionary and ecological pattern and process in whales and dolphins, including their abundance, population structure, genetic diversity and systematic relationships.
