SHORT‐TERM EFFECTS OF BOAT TRAFFIC ON BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS,TURSIOPS TRUNCATUS, IN SARASOTA BAY, FLORIDA
Tập 17 Số 4 - Trang 673-688 - 2001
AbstractCoastal cetaceans are subject to potential injury or disturbance from
vessels. In Sarasota, Florida, where about 120 resident bottlenose
dolphins,Tursiops truncatus, share the inshore waters with over 34,000
registered boats, disturbance potential is high. We assessed specific behavioral
responses of individual dolphins to boat traffic. We conducted focal animal
behavioral observations dur...
RESPONSES BY HECTOR'S DOLPHINS TO BOATS AND SWIMMERS IN PORPOISE BAY, NEW ZEALAND
Tập 15 Số 3 - Trang 738-750 - 1999
AbstractTheodolite tracking (61 d; 251 h) was used to quantify dolphin reactions
to boats and swimmers in the austral summers of 1995‐1996 and 1996‐1997.
Dolphins were accompanied by swimmers (within 200 m) for 11.2% of the total
observation time, whereas boats accounted for an additional 12.4%. Dolphins were
not displaced by either of these activities. Swimmers caused only weak,
non‐significant e...
INCREASED AVOIDANCE OF SWIMMERS BY WILD BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS (TURSIOPS TRUNCATUS) DUE TO LONG‐TERM EXPOSURE TO SWIM‐WITH‐DOLPHIN TOURISM
Tập 17 Số 4 - Trang 689-702 - 2001
AbstractThe responses of wild, non‐provisioned bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops
truncatus) to swim attempts from commercial swim‐with‐dolphin tour boats were
systematically observed during two research periods: 1994–1995 and 1997–1998. A
total of 255 groups of dolphins was encountered during boat‐based surveys and
36% (n= 93) were exposed to at least one swim attempt. The operators' success
with swim...
CHANGES IN SURFACING PATTERNS OF BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS IN RESPONSE TO BOAT TRAFFIC

Seascapes of fear: evaluating sublethal predator effects experienced and generated by marine mammals
Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 1-15 - 2008
AbstractThe notion that predators can affect their prey without killing them is
widely supported in the ecological literature yet rarely applied by marine
mammal studies. We present three case studies in which patterns of time
allocation by individual marine mammal foragers were used to index the sublethal
effects of predators on bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.), harbor seals (Phoca
vitulina), a...
Diel variation in beaked whale diving behavior
Tập 24 Số 3 - Trang 630-642 - 2008
AbstractWe investigate diel variation in beaked whale diving behavior using data
from time–depth recorders deployed on six Blainville's (Mesoplodon densirostris)
(255 h) and two Cuvier's (Ziphius cavirostris) (34 h) beaked whales. Deep
foraging dives (>800 m) occurred at similar rates during the day and night for
Blainville's beaked whales, and there were no significant diel differences in
ascent ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF BEAKED WHALE (ZIPHIIDAE) AND SPERM WHALE (PHYSETER MACROCEPHALUS) SUMMER HABITAT IN SHELF‐EDGE AND DEEPER WATERS OFF THE NORTHEAST U. S.
Tập 17 Số 4 - Trang 703-717 - 2001
AbstractSperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) and beaked whales (Mesoplodonspp.
andZiphius cavirostris) are deep‐diving cetaceans that frequent shelf‐edge and
Gulf Stream waters off the northeast U. S. coast. Sighting data collected during
seven summer (1990, 1991, 1993, and 1995–1998) shipboard surveys were analyzed
using a geographic information system to determine habitat use based on
bathymetr...
Olfaction and brain size in the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus)
Tập 27 Số 2 - Trang 282-294 - 2011
AbstractAlthough there are several isolated references to the olfactory anatomy
of mysticetes, it is usually thought that olfaction is rudimentary in this
group. We investigated the olfactory anatomy of bowhead whales and found that
these whales have a cribriform plate and small, but histologically complex
olfactory bulb. The olfactory bulb makes up approximately 0.13% of brain weight,
unlike odon...
THE USE OF NATURAL MARKINGS IN STUDIES OF LONG‐FINNED PILOT WHALES (GLOBICEPHALA MELAS)
Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 77-93 - 2007
AbstractPhoto‐identification using natural markings has been used for pilot
whale (Globicephala melas) studies. However, none of these studies investigated
the reliability of the marks used. To identify which mark types are reliable and
which could improve the method, fifteen mark types, and their distribution
within the population, were described. The rates of gain and loss of each mark
type were...
