Journal ArticleDOI
The bottlenose dolphin community of Doubtful Sound features a large proportion of long-lasting associations
David Lusseau,David Lusseau,Karsten Schneider,Oliver Boisseau,Patti A. Haase,Elisabeth Slooten,Steve Dawson +6 more
TL;DR: A small, closed population of bottlenose dolphins living at the southern extreme of the species' range is described, which hypothesise that ecological constraints are important factors shaping social interactions within cetacean societies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and field methods for sighting surveys of cetaceans in coastal and riverine habitats
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide advice on designing and conducting line-transect surveys with a focus on sound, practical, design rather than analytical sophistication, and attempt, where possible, to offer simple, inexpensive solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
First evidence that marine protected areas can work for marine mammals
Andrew M. Gormley,Andrew M. Gormley,Elisabeth Slooten,Steve Dawson,Richard J. Barker,William Rayment,Sam du Fresne,Stefan Bräger,Stefan Bräger +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) in improving the survival rate of Hector's dolphin Cephalorhynchus hectori at Banks Peninsula.
Journal ArticleDOI
To ping or not to ping: the use of active acoustic devices in mitigating interactions between small cetaceans and gillnet fisheries
TL;DR: It is suggested that the most promising candidates for bycatch reduction via pinger use will be gillnet fisheries in developed countries in which the bycaught cetaceans are generally neophobic species with large home ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kernel density estimates of alongshore home range of Hector's dolphins at Banks Peninsula, New Zealand
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the home ranges of Hector's dolphins (Cepbalorhyncbus bectori) via coastal photo-ID surveys in the Banks Peninsula Marine Mammal Sanctuary (BPMMS) between 1985 and 2006.
