Marine dredging is an excavation activity carried out worldwide by many industries. Concern
about the impact dredging has on marine life, including marine mammals (cetaceans …

Many marine animals use sound passively or actively for communication, foraging, predator
avoidance, navigation, and to sense their environment. The advent of acoustic recording …

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 …

About 70 million years ago, the terrestrial ancestors of whales and dolphins reentered the
ocean where life originally began. Not only did this require dramatic shifts in locomotion for …

During foraging dives, sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) produce long series of
regular clicks at 0.5–2 s intervals interspersed with rapid–click buzzes called 'creaks' …

Toothed whales (Cetacea, odontoceti) emit sound pulses to probe their surroundings by
active echolocation. Non-invasive, acoustic Dtags were placed on deep-diving Blainville's …

Blainville's beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris Blainville) echolocate for prey during
deep foraging dives. Here we use acoustic tags to demonstrate that these whales, in …

Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) are deep-diving predators foraging in meso-and
bathypelagic ecosystems off the continental shelves. To investigate the ecophysiological …

A disparate selection of toothed whales (Odontoceti) share striking features of their acoustic
repertoires including the absence of whistles and high frequency but weak (low peak‐to …
