The number of marine watercraft is on the rise—from private boats in coastal areas to
commercial ships crossing oceans. A concomitant increase in underwater noise has been …

Global increases in environmental noise levels–arising from expansion of human
populations, transportation networks, and resource extraction–have catalysed a recent …

Global reductions in the underwater radiated noise levels from cargo vessels are needed to
reduce increasing cumulative impacts to marine wildlife. We use a vessel exposure …

Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) are known as extreme divers, though
behavioral data from this difficult-to-study species have been limited. They are also the …

Ocean noise pollution is of special concern for cetaceans, as they are highly dependent on
sound as their principal sense. Sound travels very efficiently underwater, so the potential …

Sound-and-orientation recording tags (DTAGs) were used to study 10 beaked whales of two
poorly known species, Ziphius cavirostris (Zc) and Mesoplodon densirostris (Md). Acoustic …

Beaked whales have mass stranded during some naval sonar exercises, but the cause is
unknown. They are difficult to sight but can reliably be detected by listening for echolocation …

With the growing utilization and exploration of the ocean, anthropogenic noise increases
significantly and gives rise to a new kind of pollution: noise pollution. In this review, the …
