Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones, have recently emerged as a relatively
affordable and accessible method for studying wildlife. Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a novel and cost effective research tool to
investigate cetacean behaviour, as conventional aircraft are expensive, limited in the altitude …

Recent advances in aerial drones offer new insights into the biology, ecology and behaviour
of marine wildlife found on or near the ocean's surface. While opening up new opportunities …

Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) are powerful tools for research and monitoring of wildlife.
However, the effects of these systems on most marine mammals are largely unknown …

Drones have become an important research tool for studies of cetaceans, providing valuable
insights into their ecology and behavior. However, drones are also recognized as a potential …

Vertical take‐off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming
invaluable data collection platforms for cetacean research. In particular, multi‐rotors can be …

Generating accurate estimates of group sizes or behaviours of cetaceans from boat-based
surveys can be challenging because much of their activity occurs below the water surface …

Drones and unmanned aerial vehicles are increasingly used in research on wildlife. Their
wide applications can also give interesting insights into habitat use and population …

Abstract Theodolite tracking (61 d; 251 h) was used to quantify dolphin reactions to boats
and swimmers in the austral summers of 1995‐1996 and 1996‐1997. Dolphins were …

Over the last decade there has been considerable growth in marine mammal-watching
tourism throughout the world. Due to the species use of coastal habitats, bottlenose dolphins …
