The paper reports on research into the available published literature concerning those smaller cetaceans which penetrate into the Baltic Sea, bearing in mind that the Skagerrak is not included in…
Results of an aerial sightings survey conducted in coastal (within the 600m depth contour) Icelandic waters from 27 June-20 July 1986 are presented. The survey followed a predetermined random grid,…
We present the results of an aerial line transect census of cetaceans along the California coast during March and April 1991. This survey was the first of two aerial surveys…
Twenty-eight odontocete species were identified as occupying sub-Antarctic and Antarctic habitat covered by the 1994 IWC-established Southern Ocean Sanctuary. Toothed whales evidently play an important part in the Antarctic polar…
Cetaceans are protected worldwide but vulnerable to incidental harm from an expanding array of human activities at sea. Managing potential hazards to these highly-mobile populations increasingly requires a detailed understanding…
Information relating to the distribution and abundance of species is critical for effective conservation and management. For many species, including cetacean species of conservation concern, abundance estimates are lacking, out…
Information on animal distribution and abundance is integral to wildlife conservation and management. However abundance estimates have not been available for many cetacean species inhabiting the coastal waters of Canada’s…
(...) Two separate predation events were documented off the coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia between the years 2013-2014. Both predation events occurred on small cetaceans from the Phocoenidae family:…

Odontocetes produce a range of different echolocation clicks but four groups in different families have converged on producing the same stereotyped narrow band high frequency (NBHF) click. In microchiropteran bats,…
