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 …

Detection and identification of species, subspecies or stocks of whales, dolphins and
porpoises at sea remain challenging, particularly for cryptic or elusive species like beaked …

While a variety of reproductive tactics are readily witnessed in odontocetes, such behaviors
can be far more elusive in baleen whales and in some cases are yet to be observed. This …

Abstract Northern British Columbia has been identified as an important habitat for several
coastal cetacean species, including humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). This …

A high percentage of island floras are at risk of extinction and have been reduced to relic
populations, often in remote hard‐to‐reach areas. Uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS aka …

Analysis of cetacean blow offers a unique potential for non-invasive assessments of their
health. In recent years, the use of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) has revolutionized the …

change and other pressures threatening ecosystems and the many benefits they provide …

Abstract In coastal British Columbia, Canada, marine megafauna such as humpback whales
(Megaptera novaeangliae) and fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus velifera) have been …

Unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs), or “drones,” are increasingly used as a tool for cetacean
research, but knowledge about how these tools contribute to underwater sound is lacking. In …
