Changes in humpback whale occurence in the Washington-southern British Columbia feeding area
Based on past genetic and photo-identification data, humpback whales in the North Pacific show site fidelity to distinct feeding areas
Wildbook: An Open Source Framework for Cetacean Mark-Recapture
Individual ID mark-recapture studies are critical to our understanding of marine mammals, yet gathering, processing and identifying individuals in images
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
Insights into the underwater behavior, species interactions, and biomechanics of baleen whales using integrated video and inertial sensors
Bio-logging approaches to study the biology of free-ranging animals often focus on audio, movement, or video, but rarely are these
Expansion rates of ventral groove blubber in lunge-feeding blue whales
Rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae) are obligate lunge filter feeders that intermittently engulf and process large volumes of prey-laden water. Lunge feeding
Flexible foragers: Humpback whale diets in the California Current indicate variance in ocean climate and ecosystem conditions
While large, migratory predators are often cited as indicator species for ecosystem processes and conditions, their utility as indicators is
Utility of sighting and stranding data to document marine mammal occurrence: A case study in Puget Sound, Washington, USA
Sighting and stranding data are often used to identify patterns in marine mammal occurrence. Here we evaluate the use of
Humpback whale behavioral response to ships in and around major shipping lanes off San Francisco, CA
When whales overlap with human activities in coastal habitats, whales are vulnerable to potentially lethal ship strikes. Despite changes to
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
