Discrete-Space Continuous-Time Models of Marine Mammal Exposure to Navy Sonar
Assessing the patterns of wildlife attendance to specific areas is relevant across many fundamental and applied ecological studies, particularly when

Aim: Fisheries bycatch is a major threat to populations of protected species such as marine mammals, seabirds and sea turtles,
Cuvier’s beaked whales exhibit exceptionally long and deep foraging dives. The species is little studied due to their deepwater, offshore distribution and
Short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) depredate pelagic longlines along the shelf break of the Mid-Atlantic Bight. The mortality and serious
Shelf break systems are ecologically important regions of the ocean, and are often characterized by enhanced productivity and high densities
In 2014 a study was initiated off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, to examine the spatial use and diving behavior of
As awareness of the effects of anthropogenic noise on marine mammals has grown, research has broadened from evaluating physiological responses
Cuvier’s beaked whales make exceptionally long and deep dives to forage on bathypelagic prey. The species is of conservation concern
There is increasing recognition that, to be effective, fisheries management should incorporate spatial and temporal variation in the distribution of
Little is known about movement patterns and spatial use of pelagic cetaceans in the western North Atlantic. To improve our understanding
