There is increasing concern about the potential effects of noise pollution on marine life in the
world's oceans. For marine mammals, anthropogenic sounds may cause behavioral …

Some beaked whale species are susceptible to the detrimental effects of anthropogenic
noise. Most studies have concentrated on the effects of military sonar, but other forms of …

Sound is the most efficient modality for communication in the marine environment. Sound is
subjected to lower levels of absorption than light and propagates at higher speeds in the …

Anthropogenic noise may significantly impact exposed marine mammals. This work studied
the vocalization response of endangered blue whales to anthropogenic noise sources in the …

Mid-frequency military (1–10 kHz) sonars have been associated with lethal mass strandings
of deep-diving toothed whales, but the effects on endangered baleen whale species are …

Experimental research has shown that beaked whales exhibit strong avoidance reactions to
naval active sonars used during antisubmarine warfare training exercises, including …

Beaked whales have mass stranded during some naval sonar exercises, but the cause is
unknown. They are difficult to sight but can reliably be detected by listening for echolocation …

Impact assessments for sonar operations typically use received sound levels to predict
behavioural disturbance in marine mammals. However, there are indications that cetaceans …

Certain anthropogenic sounds are widely believed to cause strandings of beaked whales,
but their impacts on beaked whale populations are not known and methods for mitigating …

Behavioral responses of beaked whales (family Ziphiidae) to naval use of mid‐frequency
active sonar (MFAS) have been quantified for some species and regions. We describe the …
