Using Digital Tags with Integrated Video and Inertial Sensors to Study Moving Morphology and Associated Function in Large Aquatic Vertebrates

The anatomy of large cetaceans has been well documented, mostly through dissection of dead specimens. However, the difficulty of studying

Diet of Cuvier’s Beaked Whales Ziphius cavirostris from the North Pacific and a Comparison with Their Diet World-Wide

Cuvier’s beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) are distributed world-wide and are the most common cetacean to strand coincident with navy sonars.

Unexpected Patterns of Global Population Structure in Melon-Headed Whales (Peponocephala electra)

Foraging specialization, environmental barriers, and social structure have driven the development of strong genetic differentiation within many marine species, including

Estimating Blue Whale Skin Isotopic Incorporation Rates and Baleen Growth Rates: Implications for Assessing Diet and Movement Patterns in Mysticetes

Stable isotope analysis in mysticete skin and baleen plates has been repeatedly used to assess diet and movement patterns. Accurate

Avoidance Responses of Minke Whales to 1–4kHz Naval Sonar

Minke whales are difficult to study and little information exists regarding their responses to anthropogenic sound. This study pools data

Habitat-Based Density Models for Three Cetacean Species off Southern California Illustrate Pronounced Seasonal Differences

Managing marine species effectively requires spatially and temporally explicit knowledge of their density and distribution. Habitat-based density models, a type

Nowhere to Go: Noise Impact Assessments for Marine Mammal Populations with High Site Fidelity

As awareness of the effects of anthropogenic noise on marine mammals has grown, research has broadened from evaluating physiological responses

A Multivariate Mixed Hidden Markov Model for Blue Whale Behaviour and Responses to Sound Exposure

Characterization of multivariate time series of behaviour data from animal-borne sensors is challenging. Biologists require methods to objectively quantify baseline
