    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • High thresholds for avoidance of sonar by free-ranging long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) 

      Antunes, Ricardo; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Tyack, Peter L.; Thomas, Len; Wensveen, Paul J.; Miller, Patrick James O'Malley (2014)
      The potential effects of exposing marine mammals to military sonar is a current concern. Dose–response relationships are useful for predicting potential environmental impacts of specific operations. To reveal behavioral ...
    • Northern bottlenose whales in a pristine environment respond strongly to close and distant navy sonar signals 

      Wensveen, Paul J.; Isojunno, Saana; Hansen, Rune Roland; von Benda-Beckmann, Alexander M.; Kleivane, Lars; van IJsselmuide, Sander; Lam, Frans-Peter Alexander; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; DeRuiter, Stacy L.; Curé, Charlotte; Narazaki, Tomoko; Tyack, Peter Lloyd; Miller, Patrick James O'Malley (2019-03-20)
      Impact assessments for sonar operations typically use received sound levels to predict behavioural disturbance in marine mammals. However, there are indications that cetaceans may learn to associate exposures from distant ...
    • Predator sound playbacks reveal strong avoidance responses in a fight strategist baleen whale 

      Curé, Charlotte; Sivle, Lise Doksæter; Visser, Fleur; Wensveen, Paul J.; Isojunno, Saana; Harris, Catriona M.; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Miller, Patrick James O'Malley (2015)
      Anti-predator strategies are often defined as ‘flight’ or ‘fight’, based upon prey anatomical adaptations for size, morphology and weapons, as well as observed behaviours in the presence of predators. The humpback whale ...
