Marine top predators represent an essential part of marine ecosystems. They are generally
regarded as “sentinels of the sea” since their presence reflects high biological productivity …

Abstract Knowledge about the movement ecology of endangered species is needed to
identify biologically important areas and the spatio-temporal scale of potential human …

Depredation of demersal longlines by killer and sperm whales is a widespread behaviour
that impacts fisheries and whale populations. To better understand how depredating whales …

Eleven satellite tags were deployed on 9 killer whales at the Prince Edwards Islands in the
Southern Ocean. State-space switching models were used to generate position estimates …

Marine mammals and fisheries often target the same resources, which can lead to
operational interactions. Potential consequences of operational interaction include …

Of all animals considered subjects for instrumentation for behavioral or physiological
studies, cetaceans probably represent the greatest challenge to the engineer and biologist …

Animal‐borne instruments have become a standard tool for collecting important data from
marine mammals. However, few studies have examined whether placement of these data …

Social structure is a core element of population biology, influenced by intrinsic and
environmental factors. Intra-taxon comparisons of social organization are useful in …

Small research vessels are often used as platforms for tagging activities to collect behavioral
data on cetaceans and they have the potential to disturb that group or individual. If this …

Many large marine species are vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures, and substantial
declines have been documented across a range of taxa. Many of these species are also …
