Longline fishery interactions and resource selection of satellite-tagged pelagic false killer whales in the North Pacific

Pelagic false killer whales (PFKW) are killed or seriously injured in the Hawai‘i-based deep-set longline fishery more than any other cetacean population, with bycatch regularly

Bringing the right fishermen to the table: An index of overlap between false killer whales and nearshore fisheries in Hawai‘i, with implications for targeting observer programs and outreach efforts

In Hawai‘i, the diet of endangered main Hawaiian Islands false killer whales (FKWs) includes pelagic and nearshore game fish, overlapping

Defining key habitats: An analysis of short-finned pilot whale communities in Hawai‘i using satellite tag data

While only a single stock of short-finned pilot whales is recognized in Hawai‘i, photo-identification, social network analyses, and genetics have
