Enhancing AIS to Improve Whale-Ship Collision Avoidance and Maritime Security [PDF]

, 2009
Whale-ship strikes are of growing worldwide concern due to the steady growth of commercial shipping. Improving the current situation involves the creation of a communication capability allowing whale position information to be estimated and exchanged ...

Postreproductive killer whale grandmothers improve the survival of their grandoffspring

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Why humans and some species of whales go through menopause remains an evolutionary puzzle. In humans, postreproductive females gain genetic benefits by helping family members—particularly increasing their number of surviving grandoffspring ...

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Using citizen science to better understand Risso’s dolphin (Grampus griseus) presence in northeast Scotland and the Northern Isles

Frontiers in Conservation Science
There is no current population estimate for Risso’s dolphin (Grampus griseus) in Scottish waters and their distribution in the northeast of Scotland and the Northern Isles is poorly documented.

WhaleWatch: a dynamic management tool for predicting blue whale density in the California Current

, 2017
Summary Management of highly migratory species is reliant on spatially and temporally explicit information on their distribution and abundance. Satellite telemetry provides time-series data on individual movements.

Humpback whale migrations to Antarctic summer foraging grounds through the southwest Pacific Ocean

Scientific Reports, 2018
Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) populations typically undertake seasonal migrations, spending winters in low latitude breeding grounds and summers foraging in high latitude feeding grounds.

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future

Ecography, EarlyView.
Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...

Gray Whale (Eschrictius robustus) Call Types Recorded During Migration off the West Coast of Vancouver Island

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) vocalizing behavior varies over its range, both in call type and frequency. This study adds to the growing body of passive acoustic research outside of the calving/breeding lagoons, and moves toward a description of ...
