Abstract Common bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ) use individually distinctive signature whistles which are highly stereotyped and function as contact calls. Here we investigate whether Indo‐Pacific T. aduncus whistles. The frequency trace of whistle contours recorded from three genetically distinct free‐ranging populations was extracted sorted into types similar shape using automated categorization. A identification method based on the temporal patterns in sequences used to...
Plastic and microplastic contamination in the environment receive global attention, with calls for synthesis of scientific evidence to inform actionable strategies policy-relevant practices. We provide a systematic literature review on research across Australian coastal environments water, sediment biota, highlighting main foci gaps information. At same time, we conducted surveys workshops gather expert opinions from multiple stakeholders (including researchers, industry, government)...
Observations of killer whales (Orcinus orca) feeding on the remains beaked have been previously documented; however, to date, there has no published account actively preying upon whales. This article describes first field observations interacting with, hunting and (Mesoplodon spp.) four separate occasions during 2014, 2015 2016 in Bremer Sub-Basin, off south coast Western Australia.
To date, there has been no dedicated study in Australian waters on the acoustics of killer whales. Hence information published sounds produced by whales from this region. Here we present first acoustical analysis recordings collected off Western coast. Underwater were recorded during months February and March 2014 2015 Bremer Canyon Australia. Vocalisations included echolocation clicks, burst-pulse whistles. A total 28 hours 29 minutes analysed, with 2376 whale calls (whistles sounds)...
Beaked whales have been over-represented in whale strandings that occurred at similar times and places of some naval exercises the northern hemisphere. Although are common, it is unusual to find beaked stranded such large numbers. Consequently, environmental management requires mitigation measures avoid potential impact on whales. This knowledge distributions behavior, but little known about whales, less than for all other small inhabit deep water. They particularly elusive rarely seen sea....
Submarine canyons play an important role in the regional distribution, abundance and dispersal of marine biota are increasingly being recognised as geomorphic features high conservation significance along Australia’s continental margin. Certain have been described foraging ‘hotspots’ attributable to apex cetacean species aggregating these areas. Anecdotal evidence large seasonal aggregations killer whales Bremer Canyon, south-west Australia, has attracted significant research attention last...
