Long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) are the most frequently stranded cetaceans
in the world; however, the predominant drivers of these events are poorly understood. In this …

Killer whales (Orcinus orca) have group‐specific call repertoires that can be used to track
groups and populations using passive acoustic monitoring. To provide a detailed description …

In Iceland, occurrences of long-finned pilot whales Globicephala melas and strandings in
coastal waters are irregular and thought to be related to prey movements; however, little is …

Abstract Endangered Southern Resident killer whales (Orcinus orca) are fish‐eaters that
preferentially prey on adult Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). Despite being …

Interactions between killer whales (Orcinus orca (Linnaeus, 1758)) and long-finned pilot
whales (Globicephala melas (Traill, 1809)) have been documented on numerous occasions …

Investigating the movements and site fidelity of individuals enhances our understanding of
population ecology and structure. Killer whales occur around the coast of Iceland; however …

The distribution and occurrence of killer whales around Iceland are primarily studied in
