First Long-Term Behavioral Records from Cuvier’s Beaked Whales (Ziphius cavirostris) Reveal Record-Breaking Dives
Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) are known as extreme divers, though behavioral data from this difficult-to-study species have been limited. They are also the species most often stranded in association with Mid-Frequency Active (MFA) sonar use, a relationship that remains poorly understood. We used satellite-linked tags to record the diving behavior and locations of eight Ziphius of...
متن کاملDiving behaviour of Cuvier's beaked whales exposed to two types of military sonar
Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) have stranded in association with mid-frequency active sonar (MFAS) use, and though the causative mechanism linking these events remains unclear, it is believed to be behaviourally mediated. To determine whether MFAS use was associated with behavioural changes in this species, satellite tags were used to record the diving and movements of 16 Cuvier's...
متن کاملDiel Variation in Beaked Whale Diving Behavior
We investigate diel variation in beaked whale diving behavior using data from timedepth recorders deployed on six Blainville’s (Mesoplodon densirostris) beaked whales (126 hours day; 129 hours night) and two Cuvier’s (Ziphius cavirostris) beaked whales (19 hours day; 15 hours night). Deep foraging dives (>800 m) occurred at similar rates during the day and night for Blainville’s beaked whales (...
متن کاملFirst direct measurements of behavioural responses by Cuvier's beaked whales to mid-frequency active sonar
Most marine mammal- strandings coincident with naval sonar exercises have involved Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris). We recorded animal movement and acoustic data on two tagged Ziphius and obtained the first direct measurements of behavioural responses of this species to mid-frequency active (MFA) sonar signals. Each recording included a 30-min playback (one 1.6-s simulated MFA sona...
متن کاملSite Fidelity, Associations, and Movements of Cuvier’s (ziphius Cavirostris) and Blainville’s (mesoplodon Densirostris) Beaked Whales off the Island of Hawai‘i
Although the Ziphiidae are the second-most speciose family of cetaceans, information on beaked whale species and populations has been limited by the difficulties in finding and approaching free-ranging individuals. Site fidelity, patterns of association, and movements of two species, Cuvier’s (Ziphius cavirostris) and Blainville’s (Mesoplodon densirostris) beaked whales, were assessed using a 2...
