The initial response of individuals to human‐induced environmental change is often
behavioural. This can improve the performance of individuals under sudden, large‐scale …

Whale-watching activities can induce behavioral changes that may negatively affect
cetacean populations. However, these changes may vary depending on species …

This current literature review updates and builds upon Samuels et al. 2000, by including
almost 190 new references from 2000-2015 pertaining to swim-with activities, as well as …

In recent years there has been significant interest in modelling cumulative effects and the
population consequences of individual changes in cetacean behaviour and physiology due …

The numbers of potentially pathogenic microorganisms that have been isolated from
stranded cetaceans in the last three decades underscore the urgent need for methods of …

This paper explores whaling and whale watching to determine the viability of their divergent
practices–and explains why they coexist in some cases. Whale watching is often viewed as …

Whale Watching as an alternative to the practice of commercial and'scientific'whaling has
evolved as an ecotourism activity. This paper explores whale watching in an effort to …

This study investigated Burrunan dolphin responses to dolphin-swim tour vessels across two
time periods: 1998–2000 and 2011–2013. A total of 211 dolphin sightings were documented …

Synchronized swimming in cetaceans has been hypothesized to play a role in affiliative
processes as well as anti-predatory responses. We compared observed variation in …

It is generally accepted that vessel activity causes various behavioral responses of
cetaceans and undermines individual fitness. Whether or how it can lead to a demographic …
