Pelagic false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens) are killed or seriously injured in the Hawai‘i-based deep-set longline fishery more than any other
Skin-associated microorganisms have been shown to play a role in immune function and disease of humans, but are understudied in
False killer whales are long-lived, slow to mature, apex predators, and therefore susceptible to bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
Given the difficulties and costs often associated with surveying cetaceans, enlisting members of the public to collect data offers a
Animal-borne electronic instruments (tags) are valuable tools for collecting information on cetacean physiology, behaviour and ecology, and for enhancing conservation
Most mammals exhibit natal dispersal of one or both sexes, a behavior that likely evolved in part to reduce the
A number of species of resident and non-resident odontocetes use the waters of the Kaulakahi Channel between Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau,
The availability of light, both solar and lunar, is likely to influence the behavior of vertically migrating aquatic animals and
