The 3S3 experiment data report - using operational naval sonars to study the effects of continuous active sonar, and source proximity, on sperm whales
Kvadsheim, Petter H.; Isojunno, Saana; Curé, Charlotte; Siemensma, Marije L.; Wensveen, Paul; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Roland, Rune; Benti, Benjamin; Sivle, Lise D; Burslem, Alec; Kleivane, Lars; Miller, Patrick J.O. (2021-03-18)The 3S project is an international collaborative effort with the aim to investigate behavioral reactions of cetaceans to naval sonar signals. The objectives of the third phase of the project (3S3) were to investigate if ... -
Avoidance responses of minke whales to 1?4 kHz naval sonar
Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; DeRuiter, Stacy; Sivle, Lise Doksæter; Goldbogen, Jeremy; Hansen, Rune Roland; Miller, Patrick J.O.; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Calambokidis, John; Friedlaender, Ari; Visser, Fleur; Tyack, Peter L.; Kleivane, Lars; Southall, Brandon (2017)Minke whales are difficult to study and little information exists regarding their responses to anthropogenic sound. This study pools data from behavioural response studies off California and Norway. Data are derived from ... -
Biological significance of sperm whale responses to sonar: Comparison with anti-predator responses
Curé, Charlotte; Isojunno, Saana; Visser, Fleur; Wensveen, Paul J.; Sivle, Lise Doksæter; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Miller, Patrick J.O. (2016)A key issue when investigating effects of anthropogenic noise on cetacean behavior is to identify the biological significance of the responses. Predator presence can be considered a natural high-level disturbance stimulus ... -
Changes in dive behavior during sonar exposure in killer whales, pilot whales and sperm whales.
Doksæter, Lise Henriksen; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Fahlman, Andreas; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Tyack, Peter L.; Miller, Patrick J.O. (2012)Anthropogenic underwater sound in the environment might potentially affect the behavior of marine mammals enough to have an impact on their reproduction and survival. Diving behavior of four killer whales (Orcinus orca), ... -
Disturbance-specific social responses in long-finned pilot whales, Globicephala melas
Visser, Fleur; Curé, Charlotte; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Tyack, Peter L.; Miller, Patrick J.O. (2016)Social interactions among animals can influence their response to disturbance. We investigated responses of long-finned pilot whales to killer whale sound playbacks and two anthropogenic sources of disturbance: tagging ... -
Dose response severity functions for acoustic disturbance in cetaceans using recurrent event survival analysis
Harris, Catriona M.; Sadykova, Dinara; DeRuiter, Stacy; Tyack, Peter L.; Miller, Patrick J.O.; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Thomas, Len (2015)Behavioral response studies (BRSs) aim to enhance our understanding of the behavior changes made by animals in response to specific exposure levels of different stimuli, often presented in an increasing dosage. Here, we ... -
Dose-response relationships for the onset of avoidance of sonar by free-ranging killer whales
Miller, Patrick J.O.; Antunes, Ricardo; Wensveen, Paul; Samarra, Filipa I. P.; Alves, Ana Catarina; Tyack, Peter L.; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Kleivane, Lars; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Ainslie, Michael A; Thomas, Len (2014)Eight experimentally controlled exposures to 1−2 kHz or 6−7 kHz sonar signals were conducted with four killer whale groups. The source level and proximity of the source were increased during each exposure in order to reveal ... -
Effect of naval sonar exposure on killer whales and humpback whales – 3S-2023 cruise report
Kvadsheim, Petter H.; Miller, Patrick J.O.; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Wensveen, Paul J.; Bort, Jacqueline; Burslem, Alec; Giovannini, Giorgia; Hayward, Ellen; van Ijsselmuide, Sander P.; Kleivane, Lars; Reesor, Craig; van Riet, Martijn W.G.; Roland, Rune; Siemensma, Marije L.; Sato, George (2024-04-02)3S (Sea mammals and Sonar Safety) is a multidisciplinary and international collaboration studying how naval sonar affects cetaceans. The goal is to gain information necessary to manage the risk to cetaceans without ... -
Estimated tissue and blood N2 levels and risk of in vivo bubble formation in deep-, intermediate and shallow diving toothed whales during exposure to naval sonar.
Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Miller, Patrick J.O.; Tyack, Peter L.; Doksæter, Lise Henriksen; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Fahlman, Andreas (2012)Naval sonar has been accused of causing whale stranding by a mechanism which increases formation of tissue N2 gas bubbles. Increased tissue and blood N2 levels, and thereby increased risk of decompression sickness (DCS), ... -
First indications that northern bottlenose whales are sensitive to behavioural disturbance from anthropogenic noise
Miller, Patrick J.O.; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Tyack, Peter L.; Curé, Charlotte; DeRuiter, Stacy; Kleivane, Lars; Sivle, Lise Doksæter; van IJsselmuide, Sander; Visser, Fleur; Wensveen, Paul J.; von Benda-Beckmann, Alexander M.; López, L Martin; Narazaki, T; Hooker, S. (2015)Although northern bottlenose whales were the most heavily hunted beaked whale, we have little information about this species in its remote habitat of the North Atlantic Ocean. Underwater anthropogenic noise and disruption ... -
How man-made interference might cause gas bubble emboli in deep diving whales
Fahlman, Andreas; Tyack, Peter L.; Miller, Patrick J.O.; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold (2014)Recent cetacean mass strandings in close temporal and spatial association with sonar activity has raised the concern that anthropogenic sound may harm breath-hold diving marine mammals. Necropsy results of the stranded ... -
Modeling Effectiveness of Gradual Increases in Source Level to Mitigate Effects of Sonar on Marine Mammals
Benda-Beckmann, Alexander M. von; Wensveen, Paul; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Miller, Patrick J.O.; Tyack, Peter L.; Ainslie, Michael A (2014)Ramp-up or soft-start procedures (i.e., gradual increase in the source level) are used to mitigate the effect of sonar sound on marine mammals, although no one to date has tested whether ramp-up procedures are effective ... -
