Abundance and densities of beaked and bottlenose whales (family Ziphiidae)
J. Cetacean Res. Manage., 2023 Estimating the abundance and density of beaked whales is more difficult than for most other cetacean species. Consequently few estimates appear in the published literature. Field identification is problematic, especially for the smaller species, and visual detection rates decrease dramatically with Beaufort sea state; prior experience is very important

Deep–diving behaviour of the northern bottlenose whale,Hyperoodon ampullatus(Cetacea: Ziphiidae) [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1999 Using suction–cup attached time–depth recorder/VHF radio tags, we have obtained the first diving data on northern bottlenose whales ( Hyperoodon ampullatus ), the first such data on any species within the family Ziphiidae. Two deployments in 1997 on northern bottlenose whales in a submarine canyon off Nova Scotia demonstrated their exceptional diving ...

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 1999 A partial skull of an odontocete cetacean from Middle Pliocene sediments of Monte Voltraio (Pisa Province, Tuscany, Italy) is examined. This fossil, erroneously referred to the family Ziphiidae and described in the past as holotype of the species ...

Long-Term Depth Records of Satellite-Tagged Northern Bottlenose Whales Reveal Extraordinary Dive Capabilities. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study used records from 13 satellite tags deployed off Jan Mayen to provide an extensive description of the dive behavior of northern bottlenose whales in the Nordic Seas. Our findings demonstrate that this species has extraordinary capabilities to dive, and presumably feed, throughout the water column including at the sea floor.

A young strap-toothed whale in Tasmanian waters [PDF]
, 1984 The stranding of a young Strap-toothed Whale is the first breeding record of this species in Australia. The species is present in Australian waters in summer probably associated with calving and the early growth of young.
