Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales
ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,
