Daily Energetic Expenditure and Energy Consumption of Short-Finned Pilot Whales
Diving is one of the most important behaviors undertaken by marine mammals. Pilot whales (Globicephala spp.) are oceanic dolphins that
Deriving Probabilistic Age Estimates Using Common Photo-Identification Catalog Information: An Application to Endangered Hawaiian False Killer Whales (Pseudorca crassidens)
Age is important for studying population dynamics, but it is difficult to obtain reasonably accurate age estimates and associated uncertainty
A Comparison of Diving Behavior of Goose-Beaked and Dense-Beaked Whales From Tagging Studies in Multiple Ocean Basins
Studies of cetacean diving behavior in multiple locations in different ocean basins allow for an assessment of variability within and
Accounting for Sampling Bias Reveals a Decline in Abundance of Endangered False Killer Whales in the Main Hawaiian Islands
We estimated abundance of the endangered main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) insular population of false killer whales Pseudorca crassidens from 1999-2022 using a
Variation in Social Structure Among Multiple Stocks of Island-Associated Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Hawaiian Waters
ABSTRACT The drivers of animal social structures remain poorly understood, particularly in species such as cetaceans that are wide-ranging and
Using Spatial Capture-Recapture Methods to Estimate Long-Term Spatiotemporal Variation of a Wide-Ranging Marine Species
Determining population status to inform mitigation of anthropogenic threats requires statistical approaches that investigate spatial and temporal variation. In the
Rates of Entanglement Inferred from Scarring Prevalence of Humpback Whales Photographed in US Oregon Waters
Entanglements in fishing gear are a significant threat to cetaceans worldwide and a concern for large whales in US waters.
The Role of Accelerometer Hardware Limitations in Focal Caller Identification from Acoustic Recording Tags Attached to Mysticetes
Multi-sensor acoustic tags have revolutionized our understanding of the behavior of large whales. One limitation, however, is the inability to
