Automated Peak Detection Method for Behavioral Event Identification: Detecting Balaenoptera musculus and Grampus griseus Feeding Attempts
The desire of animal behaviorists for more fexible methods of conducting inter-study and inter-specifc comparisons and meta-analysis of various animal
Diving Behavior and Fine-Scale Kinematics of Free-Ranging Risso’s Dolphins Foraging in Shallow and Deep-Water Habitats
Air-breathing marine predators must balance the conflicting demands of oxygen conservation during breath-hold and the cost of diving and locomotion
Diving Behaviour of Cuvier’s Beaked Whales (Ziphius cavirostris) off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina
Cuvier’s beaked whales exhibit exceptionally long and deep foraging dives. The species is little studied due to their deepwater, offshore distribution and
Behavioral Responses of Individual Blue Whales (Balaenoptera musculus) to Midfrequency Military Sonar
This study measured the degree of behavioral responses in blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) to controlled noise exposure off the southern
Context-Dependent Variability in Blue Whale Acoustic Behaviour.
Abstract Acoustic communication is an important aspect of reproductive, foraging and social behaviours for many marine species. Northeast Pacific blue
Body Flexibility Enhances Maneuverability in the World’s Largest Predator
Blue whales are often characterized as highly stable, open-ocean swimmers who sacrifice maneuverability for long-distance cruising performance. However, recent studies
How to Tell Them Apart? Discriminating Tropical Blackfish Species Using Fin and Body Measurements from Photographs Taken at Sea
The misidentification of species and populations is a hindrance to effective cetacean management. We devised a method of species identification
Advances in Research on the Impacts of Anti-Submarine Sonar on Beaked Whales
Mass stranding events (MSEs) of beaked whales (BWs) were extremely rare prior to the 1960s but increased markedly after the
Future Directions in Research on Beaked Whales
Until the 1990s, beaked whales were one of the least understood groups of large mammals. Information on northern bottlenose whales
