Based on past genetic and photo-identification data, humpback whales in the North Pacific show site fidelity to distinct feeding areas

Individual ID mark-recapture studies are critical to our understanding of marine mammals, yet gathering, processing and identifying individuals in images

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

Bio-logging approaches to study the biology of free-ranging animals often focus on audio, movement, or video, but rarely are these

Rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae) are obligate lunge filter feeders that intermittently engulf and process large volumes of prey-laden water. Lunge feeding

While large, migratory predators are often cited as indicator species for ecosystem processes and conditions, their utility as indicators is

Sighting and stranding data are often used to identify patterns in marine mammal occurrence. Here we evaluate the use of
