Beaked whales (Cetacea: Ziphiidea) of the genera Ziphius and Mesoplodon are so difficult
to study that they are mostly known from strandings. How these elusive toothed whales use …

Little is known about the ecology and behaviour of species within the family Ziphiidae. In this
paper, five aspects of beaked whale ecology and behaviour are reviewed in relation to …

Strandings of beaked whales of the genera Ziphius and Mesoplodon have been reported to
occur in conjunction with naval sonar use. Detection of the sounds from these elusive …

Background It is widely held that in toothed whales, high frequency tonal sounds
called'whistles' evolved in association with'sociality'because in delphinids they are used in a …

Passive acoustic methods are increasingly being used to estimate animal population
density. Most density estimation methods are based on estimates of the probability of …

The study of marine soundscapes is a growing field of research. Recording hardware is
becoming more accessible; there are a number of off-the-shelf autonomous recorders that …

While rhythm can facilitate and enhance many aspects of behavior, its evolutionary trajectory
in vocal communication systems remains enigmatic. We can trace evolutionary processes by …

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 …

The relationship between beaked whales and certain anthropogenic sounds remains poorly
understood and of great interest. Although Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) are …
