There has been much research interest in the use of submarine canyons by cetaceans,
particularly beaked whales (family Ziphiidae), which appear to be especially attracted to …

The Mediterranean Sea is greatly affected by marine litter. In this area, research on the
impact of plastic debris (including microplastics) on biota, particularly large filter-feeding …

Cetacean–habitat modeling, although still in the early stages of development, represents a
potentially powerful tool for predicting cetacean distributions and understanding the …

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 …

Predators and prey assort themselves relative to each other, the availability of resources and
refuges, and the temporal and spatial scale of their interaction. Predictive models of predator …

Habitat use of seven different species of cetaceans inhabiting the Pelagos Sanctuary was
studied using 18-year summer shipboard surveys data, in an area of approximately 25,000 …

In order to have a wider understanding of the impacts of plastics on marine ecosystems,
studies should approach different environmental compartments, such as seafloor and biota …

The oceanography of the Perth Canyon, off southwestern Australia, was examined through
two major field excursions in austral spring/summer 2003/2004 combined with previous …

We used generalized additive models (GAMs) as exploratory habitat models for describing
the distribution of 2 deep-diving species, Cuvier's beaked whale Ziphius cavirostris Cuvier …

Reports on the diving behavior of a sperm whale tagged and tracked on September 6, 2000
during the Sirena 2000 cruise in the Ligurian Sea. A total of about 4.5 h of acoustic and …
