Scaling of Maneuvering Performance in Baleen Whales: Larger Whales Outperform Expectations
Despite their enormous size, whales make their living as voracious predators. To catch their much smaller, more maneuverable prey, they
Cetacean Strandings in the US Pacific Northwest 2000-2019 Reveal Potential Linkages to Oceanographic Variability
Studying patterns in marine mammal stranding cases can provide insight into changes in population health, abundance, and distribution. Cetaceans along
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
Oceanographic Barriers, Divergence, and Admixture: Phylogeography and Taxonomy of Two Putative Subspecies of Short-Finned Pilot Whale
Genomic phylogeography plays an important role in describing evolutionary processes and their geographic, ecological, or cultural drivers. These drivers are
Familial Social Structure and Socially Driven Genetic Differentiation in Hawaiian Short-Finned Pilot Whales
Social structure can have a significant impact on divergence and evolution within species, especially in the marine environment, which has
Cetacean Distribution and Abundance in Relation to Oceanographic Domains on the Eastern Bering Sea Shelf in June and July of 2002, 2008, and 2010
