High thresholds for avoidance of sonar by free-ranging long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas)
(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 ...
Predator sound playbacks reveal strong avoidance responses in a fight strategist baleen whale
(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 ...
Biological significance of sperm whale responses to sonar: Comparison with anti-predator responses
(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
(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 ...
Effect of naval sonar exposure on killer whales and humpback whales – 3S-2023 cruise report
(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 ...
