ABSTRACT Whale‐watching is one of the fastest growing ecotourism industries and involves observation endangered wild cetacean species. However, this growth has raised concerns because negative effects activity may have on behavior survival focal Hence, detecting requires sensitive analytical methods allowing implementation regulations to protect welfare. We compared performance different hypothesis tests from classical Bayesian approaches detect whale‐watching humpback whale ( Megaptera...
Humpback whales perform long migrations from their breeding and nursing areas at low latitudes to feeding grounds high latitudes. Nonetheless, this strictly dichotomous paradigm of migration is challenged by accumulating examples occasional or regular for several stocks worldwide. Here, we report multiple evidences “Stock G” humpback in coastal waters, the Southeast Pacific Ocean. Lunge behavior defecation were observed Ecuador, while both lunge- trap pursuit Peruvian anchovy was documented...
Orcas ( Orcinus orca ) are the top marine predators of ocean, targeting multiple taxa including teleost fishes, elasmobranchs, seabirds, sea turtles, pinnipeds, odontocetes and other large cetaceans. According to their foraging strategies, genetics, acoustics, morphology, orcas differentiate into ecotypes. Despite cosmopolitan distribution, poorly studied in areas such as Humboldt Current System Southeast Pacific coast. Since 2018 northern Chile, presumed Type A have been observed on South...
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are marine apex predators distributed across the world’s oceans. In last 40 years, researchers have increasingly differentiated killer into ecotypes based on genetics, morphology, behaviour, acoustic repertoire, habitat, and trophic ecology. While whale in Northern Hemisphere well studied, recognition of distinct forms Southern is mainly limited to Antarctic waters. Although present less studied regions, such as along Atacama Desert coast Southeast Pacific Ocean,...
