We present a novel system of drifting pelagic baited stereo‐video cameras that operate in
deep‐water, topographically complex environments typically considered inaccessible for …

Cetaceans are key biological indicators of the status of marine waters and are protected
under an extensive legislative framework. Research about these highly dynamic species is …

Climate impacts affect marine ecosystems worldwide with island nations such as New
Zealand being extremely vulnerable because of their socio-economic and cultural …

Deep-habitat cetaceans are generally difficult to study, leading to a limited knowledge of
their population. This paper assesses the differential distribution patterns of three deep …

In oceanic ecosystems, the nature of barriers to gene flow and the processes by which
populations may become isolated are different from the terrestrial environment, and less well …

Habitat mapping is a useful method for understanding the complex spatial relationships that
exist in the marine environment, and is used to evaluate the effectiveness of management …

Coastal cetaceans are recognized as ecologically important species and have been the
target for environmental monitoring programs and conservation strategies. Although …

Bathymetric proxies tend to indicate the relationships between the distribution of cetaceans
and the seafloor in species distribution models (SDMs). Usually, seafloor features are …

The fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) is a cosmopolitan species with a resident population
in the Mediterranean Sea. Due to its habitat, open seas often far from ports and airfields, and …

The distribution of cetaceans is generally studied on the basis of their visual locations.
However, the absence of observations does not exclude the presence of dolphins and not …
