A digital acoustic recording tag for measuring the response of wild marine mammals to sound
MP Johnson, PL Tyack - IEEE journal of oceanic engineering, 2003 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Definitive studies on the response of marine mammals to anthropogenic sound are
hampered by the short surface time and deep-diving lifestyle of many species. A novel …

Why whales are big but not bigger: physiological drivers and ecological limits in the age of ocean giants
The largest animals are marine filter feeders, but the underlying mechanism of their large
size remains unexplained. We measured feeding performance and prey quality to …
