Habitat suitability modeling in different sperm whale social groups
The identi®cation of signi®cant habitats for highly mobile marine vertebrates is essential for their conservation. Evidence is often dif®cult to obtain for deep-diving species such as sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus), where standard visual survey methods are not suf®cient to detect the species....
