A Study to Interpret the Biological Significance of Behavior Associated with 3S Experimental Sonar Exposures

The specific objectives of this project are: 1.) use of state-based modelling (e.g. hidden Markov models) to assess how sonar exposure might affect functional behavioral time budgets across 3S species; 2.) quantitative comparison of behavior, and behavioral changes, during sonar presentation and pla...

Description
Summary:The specific objectives of this project are: 1.) use of state-based modelling (e.g. hidden Markov models) to assess how sonar exposure might affect functional behavioral time budgets across 3S species; 2.) quantitative comparison of behavior, and behavioral changes, during sonar presentation and playback of killer whale sounds across the 3S species; and 3.) quantification of the possible impacts of sonar exposure on energy expenditure by linking respiration behavior and underwater activity recorded by Dtags.
