We use acoustic recordings collected over broad time and space scales to investigate whether global variability in echolocation frequency could make clear population structure in Blainville's beaked whale.
Better understanding of the vocal behavior of cetaceans in the name of developing automated passive acoustic cetacean tracking, localization, and classification techniques.
Life history characteristics pertaining to the sexual maturation and age and growth of the yellowtail emperor were derived and exploitation rate was considered.
We conclude that long-term passive acoustic monitoring (PAM records) are a valuable resource for documenting cetacean species patterns and contributes insights into the lives of top predators.
Further understanding the distribution patterns of sperm whale populations in Hawaiʻi and contributing methods for building species distribution models.
