Diel Variation in Beaked Whale Diving Behavior
We investigate diel variation in beaked whale diving behavior using data from time-depth recorders deployed on six Blainsville’s (Mesoplodon densirostris)
A Worldwide Perspective on the Population Structure and Genetic Diversity of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in New Zealand
Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) occupy a wide range of coastal and pelagic habitats throughout tropical and temperate waters worldwide. In
High Levels of Persistent Organic Pollutants Measured in Blubber of Island-Associated False Killer Whales (Pseudorca crassidens) Around the Main Hawaiian Islands
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been measured in tissues of marine mammals since the mid 1960s (Holden and Marsden, 1967;
Diet of Pygmy Sperm Whales (Kogia breviceps) in the Hawaiian Archipelago
The biology and ecology of the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) is poorly understood among odontocetes (McAlpine 2002). In Hawaiian
Movements of Satellite-Tagged Blainville’s Beaked Whales off the Island of Hawai‘i
Studies of movement patterns and habitat use in cetaceans are often constrained by factors such as ship time, logistics, and
Evidence of a Possible Decline Since 1989 in False Killer Whales (Pseudorca crassidens) Around the Main Hawaiian Islands
Recent evidence indicates that there is a small, demographically isolated, island-associated population of false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens) around the
Pathology and Epidemiology of Phocid Herpesvirus-1 in Wild and Rehabilitating Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina richardsi) in the Northeastern Pacific
Phocid herpesvirus-1 (PhHV-1, subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae) was isolated from harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina) in the Netherlands in 1985, and was
Effects of Age, Sex and Reproductive Status on Persistent Organic Pollutant Concentrations in “Southern Resident” Killer Whales
‘‘Southern Resident” killer whales (Orcinus orca) that comprise three fish-eating ‘‘pods” (J, K and L) were listed as ‘‘endangered” in
Site Fidelity and Association Patterns of a Rare Species: Pygmy Killer Whales (Feresa attenuata) in the Main Hawaiian Islands
Most of what we know about cetacean biology and ecology comes from studies of relatively common species. Despite their distribution
Could Beaked Whales Get the Bends? Effects of Diving Behaviour and Physiology on Modelled Gas Exchange for Three Species: Ziphius cavirostris, Mesoplodon densirostris and Hyperoodon ampullatus
A mathematical model, based on current knowledge of gas exchange and physiology of marine mammals, was used to predict blood
