Acoustic Behaviour of Endangered Hawaiian False Killer Whales
Understanding the acoustic communication of the endangered main Hawaiian Islands insular population of false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens) is essential

Although the eastern North Pacific gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) population has recovered from population declines associated with whaling, they are
Diving is one of the most important behaviors undertaken by marine mammals. Pilot whales (Globicephala spp.) are oceanic dolphins that
Age is important for studying population dynamics, but it is difficult to obtain reasonably accurate age estimates and associated uncertainty
Studies of cetacean diving behavior in multiple locations in different ocean basins allow for an assessment of variability within and
We estimated abundance of the endangered main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) insular population of false killer whales Pseudorca crassidens from 1999-2022 using a
ABSTRACT The drivers of animal social structures remain poorly understood, particularly in species such as cetaceans that are wide-ranging and
Determining population status to inform mitigation of anthropogenic threats requires statistical approaches that investigate spatial and temporal variation. In the
Entanglements in fishing gear are a significant threat to cetaceans worldwide and a concern for large whales in US waters.
Multi-sensor acoustic tags have revolutionized our understanding of the behavior of large whales. One limitation, however, is the inability to
