Integrating Remote Sensing Methods During Controlled Exposure Experiments to Quantify Group Responses of Dolphins to Navy Sonar

Human noise can be harmful to sound-centric marine mammals. Significant research has focused on characterizing behavioral responses of protected cetacean

Best Practice Guidelines for Cetacean Tagging

Animal-borne electronic instruments (tags) are valuable tools for collecting information on cetacean physiology, behaviour and ecology, and for enhancing conservation

Avoidance Responses of Minke Whales to 1–4kHz Naval Sonar

Minke whales are difficult to study and little information exists regarding their responses to anthropogenic sound. This study pools data

A Multivariate Mixed Hidden Markov Model for Blue Whale Behaviour and Responses to Sound Exposure

Characterization of multivariate time series of behaviour data from animal-borne sensors is challenging. Biologists require methods to objectively quantify baseline

Tagged fin whale call production, associated behavior, and response to anthropogenic sound in the Southern California Bight

For marine animals, acoustic communication is critical for many life functions, yet individual calling behavior is poorly understood for most

Read More

Complementary analyses of behavioral responses to sonar in blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus)

We used field experiments to measure potential changes in behavior from noise exposure to blue whales off southern California from

Large ships as an observation platform for whale sightings and for informing dynamic management areas: a successful test case from the US West Coast

Medium-duration archival tags provide unique insights into baleen whale behavior

The development of short-term high-resolution movement and acoustic archival tags has enabled a greater understanding of baleen whale dive and

Controlled exposure experiments with full-scale military mid-frequency sonars in four cetacean species

Marine mammal strandings associated with specific mid-frequency active sonar (MFAS) systems have driven much of the awareness, research, and regulatory

Kinematic Diversity in Rorqual Whale Feeding Mechanisms

Rorqual whales exhibit an extreme lunge filter-feeding strategy characterized by acceleration to high speed and engulfment of a large volume
