Many organizations collect large passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) data sets that need to
be efficiently and reliably analyzed. To determine appropriate methods for effective analysis …

Classical ocean acoustic experiments involve the use of synchronized arrays of sensors.
However, the need to cover large areas and/or the use of small robotic platforms has evoked …

Many animals rely on long-form communication, in the form of songs, for vital functions such
as mate attraction and territorial defence. We explored the prospect of improving automatic …

The goal of this project is to use acoustic signatures to detect, classify, and count the calls of
four acoustic populations of blue whales so that, ultimately, the conservation status of each …

Animal behavior is motivated by the fundamental need to feed and reproduce, and these
behaviors can be inferred from spatiotemporal variations in biological signals such as …

Blue whales were brought to the edge of extinction by commercial whaling in the twentieth
century and their recovery rate in the Southern Hemisphere has been slow; they remain …

Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus in the Indian Ocean (IO) are currently thought to
represent 2 or 3 subspecies (B. m. intermedia, B. m. brevicauda, B. m. indica), and believed …

Seasonal variation in the acoustic presence of blue whale calls has been widely reported for
feeding grounds worldwide, however variation over the submonthly scale (several days to< …

Monitoring the presence of blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus ssp.) stereotyped calls has
been a widely used method to assess the different populations' distribution worldwide. All …

Abstract Globally, the Indian Ocean appears to have the greatest blue whale (Balaenoptera
musculus ssp) acoustic diversity, with at least four acoustic populations from three defined …
