Effects of sampling regime on the mean and variance of home range size estimates. (2006, background): “A useful approach to address this question is to understand the dynamics of animal movements in relation to state-dependent social and ecological factors (Hebblewhite et al. 2005; Whitehead & Rendell 2004 ).”
Multilevel Societies of Female Sperm Whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in the Atlantic and Pacific: Why Are They So Different? (2012, background): “Sperm whale clans in the Pacific have distinctive movement strategies and feeding success (Whitehead and Rendell 2004).”
Who Cares? Between-group variation in alloparental caregiving in sperm whales (2009, methodology): “Feeding success was compared between study areas using defecation rate (defecations observed divided by the number of fluke-ups recorded) as a measure of feeding success (Whitehead 1996b; Whitehead and Rendell 2004).”
Culture and conservation of non-humans with reference to whales and dolphins: review and new directions (2004, background): “Groups from these clans differ not only in the predominant types of ‘‘coda’’ vocalizations they make, which give the clans their name, but also in movement patterns and habitat use (Whitehead and Rendell, 2004).”
BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH: Fidelity to foraging sites, consistency of migration routes and habitat modulation of home range by sea turtles (2010, background): “As found in other marine vertebrates (Whitehead & Rendell, 2004; Breed et al., 2006; Hays et al., 2006; Sims et al., 2008; Teloni et al., 2008), the sea turtles in our study moved broadly across their ranges.”
Can environmental heterogeneity explain individual foraging variation in wild bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.)? (2007, unknown): “…in ecological conditions in a few cetacean studies (Hoelzel et al. 1989; Baird and Dill 1995; Chilvers and Corkeron 2001; Benoit-Bird et al. 2004; Whitehead and Rendell 2004), rarely are social, demographic and/or genetic contributions simultaneously considered (see Whitehead and Rendell 2004…”
Long-term movement patterns and trophic ecology of blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) at Palmyra Atoll (2010, background): “…apex predators is particularly important as the relationship between home range size, habitat selection, and trophic ecology can lead to spatially explicit differences in top down control and other cascading processes (e.g. Dill et al., 2003; Whitehead and Rendell, 2004; Heithaus and Dill, 2006).”
Developmental evidence for foraging traditions in wild bottlenose dolphins (2009, background): “Vertical transmission patterns may be relatively common in cetaceans with matrilineal social groups showing distinctive patterns of habitat use and/or vocal dialects (e.g. Mann et al. 2000b; Whitehead & Rendell 2004; Hauser et al. 2007).”
Social and Behavioural Factors in Cetacean Responses to Overexploitation: Are Odontocetes Less “Resilient” Than Mysticetes? (2012, background): “A recent study showed that different sperm whale social groups have different foraging success under different climatic conditions, with some doing better during El Niño events [22].”
Summer distribution patterns of southern resident killer whales Orcinus orca: core areas and spatial segregation of social groups (2007, background): “Social groups of other cetacean populations are also known to segregate space use, which has been linked to differential foraging success or reproductive status (Ersts & Rosenbaum 2003, Whitehead & Rendell 2004).”
