Acoustic and diving behavior of a tagged Baird’s beaked whale (Berardius bairdii) exposed to simulated sonar

Beaked whales are hypothesized to be particularly sensitive to anthropogenic noise, based on previous strandings and limited experimental and observational

Should I Stay or Should I Go: Movement and Residency Patterns of Satellite Tagged Pilot Whales Offshore of Cape Hatteras, NC

We deployed 20 Low-Impact Minimally-Percutaneous External-electronics Transmitter (LIMPET) satellite-linked transmitters and dive recorders on short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) off

Mouthline injuries as an indicator of fisheries interactions for false killer whales and pygmy killer whales in Hawai’i

Evidence from strandings and anecdotal reports indicate that a number of odontocete species interact with near-shore fisheries in Hawai’i. In

Life on the edge: Short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) target shelf break waters in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic Bight

Short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) interact with pelagic longlines by depredating bait and catch and becoming hooked or entangled in

Whistle characteristics and daytime dive behavior of pantropical spotted dolphins (Stenella attenuata) in Hawaii

The small size and fast movements of many small delphinids present challenges when studying their ecology, behavior, and communication. Yet

Satellite telemetry results indicate an open-ocean population of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in Hawaiian waters

At least 11 of the 18 species of odontocetes in Hawaiian waters have island-associated, resident populations. Sperm whales have been
