Evidence that ship noise increases stress in right whales
Rosalind M. Rolland,Susan E. Parks,Kathleen E. Hunt,Manuel Castellote,Peter J. Corkeron,Douglas P. Nowacek,Samuel K. Wasser,Scott D. Kraus +7 more
TL;DR: Reduced ship traffic in the Bay of Fundy, Canada, following the events of 11 September 2001, resulted in a 6 dB decrease in underwater noise with a significant reduction below 150 Hz, which is the first evidence that exposure to low-frequency ship noise may be associated with chronic stress in whales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why do baleen whales migrate?1
TL;DR: It is suggested that a major selective advantage to migrating pregnant female baleen whales is a reduced risk of killer whale (Orcinus orca) predation on their newborn calves in low-latitude waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical structure of mitochondrial DNA gene flow among humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae, world-wide.

TL;DR: The humpback whale is a suitable demographic and genetic model for the management of less tractable species of baleen whales and for the general study of gene flow among long‐lived, mobile vertebrates in the marine ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population sizes, site fidelity and residence patterns of Australian snubfin and Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins: Implications for conservation
TL;DR: In this paper, photo-identification data collected between 1999 and 2002 in Cleveland Bay, northeast Queensland, to estimate abundance, site fidelity and residence patterns of these species in order to make recommendations for their effective conservation and management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trawling and bottlenose dolphins' social structure.
TL;DR: There was a correlation between the dolphins' responses to fishing activities and community membership—members of one community feed in association with trawlers and members of the other do not, and the communities differed in habitat preference and group sizes.
