Understanding the impacts of anthropogenic sound on beaked whales
J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023 This review considers the effect of anthropogenic sound on beaked whales2. Two major conclusions are presented: (1) gas-bubble disease, induced in supersaturated tissue by a behavioural response to acoustic exposure, is a plausible pathologic mechanism ...

J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023 Vertical aerial photographs were collected of gray whales migrating along the California Coast between 1994 and 1998 to readdress some published findings on the biology and life history of this population based on examination of specimens. For each whale,

Eavesdropping at the Speed of Light: Distributed Acoustic Sensing of Baleen Whales in the Arctic
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 In a post-industrial whaling world, flagship and charismatic baleen whale species are indicators of the health of our oceans. However, traditional monitoring methods provide spatially and temporally undersampled data to evaluate and mitigate the impacts ...

Whales in the carbon cycle: can recovery remove carbon dioxide?
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2022 The great whales (baleen and sperm whales), through their massive size and wide distribution, influence ecosystem and carbon dynamics. Whales directly store carbon in their biomass and contribute to carbon export through sinking carcasses.

Fear of Killer Whales Drives Extreme Synchrony in Deep Diving Beaked Whales
Scientific Reports, 2020 Fear of predation can induce profound changes in the behaviour and physiology of prey species even if predator encounters are infrequent. For echolocating toothed whales, the use of sound to forage exposes them to detection by eavesdropping predators ...
