Odontocete Cetaceans: Quantifying Behavioral Ecology and Response to Predators Using a Multi-Species Approach
The primary objective of this project was to improve knowledge of the baseline behavioral ecology of odontocete cetaceans and, specifically, understanding of how these animals respond to certain types of sound. Playback experiments were conducted to determine how short-finned pilot whales (Globiceph...
