The recent decline in the Mediterranean population of short‐beaked common dolphins
Delphinus delphis has been the subject of scientific controversy and political indifference …

Abstract Mid-latitude (∼ 30-60°) seasonally stratifying shelf-seas support a high abundance
and diversity of marine predators such as marine mammals and seabirds. However …

Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus meet the highest prey demands of any predator that
has ever existed by feeding exclusively upon dense but patchy schools of pelagic …

Mortality from collisions with vessels is one of the main human causes of death for large
whales. Ship strikes are rarely witnessed and the distribution of strike risk and estimates of …

We estimated humpback and blue whale abundance from 1991 to 1997 off the west coast of
the US and Mexico comparing capture‐recapture models based on photographically …

The lack of comprehensive sighting data sets precludes the application of standard habitat
suitability modeling approaches to predict distributions of the majority of marine mammal …

The abundance and population density of cetaceans along the US west coast were
estimated from ship surveys conducted in the summer and fall of 1991, 1993, 1996, 2001 …

We investigated the aggregative response of marine birds and cetaceans to bathymetric
features in central California over 4 years, 1996–1997 and 2001–2002. A total of 1700 km2 …

Machine learning algorithms, including recent advances in deep learning, are promising for
tools for detection and classification of broadband high frequency signals in passive …

The spectral and temporal properties of echolocation clicks and the use of clicks for species
classification are investigated for five species of free-ranging dolphins found offshore of …
