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
The biology of the blue whale has long fascinated physiologists because of the animal’s extreme size. Despite high energetic demands
We update the results of a 22-year (1996-2017) collaborative study examining the abundance and the population structure of these animals
A number of species of resident and non-resident odontocetes use the waters of the Kaulakahi Channel between Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau,
