Spatial distribution and environmental correlates of Australian snubfin and Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphins (2006, background): “Cetacean distributions generally are determined by physical oceanographic and hydrographic features, and the effects of these features on prey distributions (Jaquet and Whitehead 1996, Davis et al. 1998, 2002, Jaquet and Gendron 2002, Benson et al. 2002).”
Multilevel Societies of Female Sperm Whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in the Atlantic and Pacific: Why Are They So Different? (2012, background): “…the Pacific, and at different times, whales can be eating very different kinds of cephalopods: small (ca. 0.4 kg), sluggish histioteuthids off the Galápagos (Smith and Whitehead 2000) vs. large (ca. 30 kg), mobile, and aggressive Dosidicus gigas in the Gulf of California (Jaquet and Gendron 2002).”
Vertical and horizontal migrations by the jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas revealed by electronic tagging (2006, background): “They may represent escape responses from predators, which in the study area would most likely be sperm whales (Jaquet & Gendron 2002), or they could be recovery dives to alleviate physiological stress incurred during active foraging in extremely warm surface waters.”
Modelling sperm whale habitat preference: a novel approach combining transect and follow data (2011, background): “Prey abundance and other factors are often hard to measure directly (Guisan & Zimmermann 2000, Jaquet & Gendron 2002) and other easier to obtain environmental variables are thus used as proxies, even if they are not always directly and causally related with animal presence (Redfern et al. 2006).”
