Ongoing population-level impacts on killer whales Orcinus orca following the 'Exxon Valdez' oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska (2008, background): “…morphologically and behaviorally distinct lineages: 2 types of fish-eating populations (so-called ‘residents’ and ‘offshores’), and 1 type of mammaleating population (so-called ‘transients’) (Matkin et al. 1999a, Barrett-Lennard 2000, Ford et al. 2000, Saulitis et al. 2000, Yurk et al. 2002).”
Species and stock identification of prey consumed by endangered southern resident killer whales in their summer range (2010, unknown): “There are several distinct populations of resident (fish-eating) killer whales in the eastern North Pacific (Barrett-Lennard 2000, Ford et al. 2000, Hoelzel et al. 2002, 2007).”
The social dynamics of southern resident killer whales and conservation implications for this endangered population (2009, background): “The best information available to-date indicates that whales within the three southern resident killer whale pods mate outside their natal pod, but within the population (Barrett-Lennard 2000; BarrettLennard & Ellis 2001).”
Multilevel Societies of Female Sperm Whales (Physeter macrocephalus) in the Atlantic and Pacific: Why Are They So Different? (2012, background): “Mating seems to usually occur between clans but within communities (Barrett-Lennard 2000), except when there is only one clan in the community (as with the “southern resident” community).”
Cultural transmission within maternal lineages: vocal clans in resident killer whales in southern Alaska (2002, background): “Neither males nor females are known to disperse from their matriline (Barrett-Lennard 2000).”
Stability and group specificity of stereotyped whistles in resident killer whales, Orcinus orca, off British Columbia (2006, background): “Behavioural and genetic studies have provided evidence that dialects of discrete calls are learned rather than inherited genetically (Ford 1991; Barrett-Lennard 2000; Yurk et al. 2002).”
Feeding ecology of eastern North Pacific killer whales Orcinus orca from fatty acid, stable isotope, and organochlorine analyses of blubber biopsies (2005, methodology): “With the exception of 6 animals, all samples were obtained from living whales using remote biopsy sampling techniques (Hoelzel et al. 1998, Barrett-Lennard 2000) and biopsy tips of various lengths (typically 2.0 to 3.0 cm).”
KILLER WHALES AND MARINE MAMMAL TRENDS IN THE NORTH PACIFIC—A RE-EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE FOR SEQUENTIAL MEGAFAUNA COLLAPSE AND THE PREY-SWITCHING HYPOTHESIS (2007, background): “All three communities have significant differences in mtDNA and nuclear (microsatellite) DNA (Barrett-Lennard 2000) and are considered discrete populations.”
Population structure of short‐finned pilot whales in the oceanic archipelago of Madeira based on photo‐identification and genetic analyses: implications for conservation (2013, methodology): “03 (Belkhir et al., 2001) to perform a Mantel test as suggested by Sokal and Rohlf (1995). We searched for a correlation between a matrix of pairwise genetic relatedness (rQ&G) and a matrix of group membership encoded as 1 for pairs of individuals sampled in the same group and 0 for pairs of individ”
Behavioural evidence for social units in long-finned pilot whales (2003, background): “Resident killer whales off northwestern North America are rare in that male and female offspring maintain potentially lifelong associations with their mothers.”
Cultural traditions and the evolution of reproductive isolation: ecological speciation in killer whales? (2012, background): “…ecotypes are smaller, and interbreeding appears to occur more often, for example between eastern North Pacific transients and offshores, eastern North Pacific residents and offshores (Barrett-Lennard, 2000; Hoelzel et al., 2007; Morin et al., 2010; Pilot et al., 2010), or Antarctic type-B and -”
Selective foraging by fish-eating killer whales Orcinus orca in British Columbia (2006, background): “…organisation, acoustic behaviour, and population genetics of killer whales in British Colum- 186 Ford & Ellis: Selective foraging by killer whales bia have been undertaken since 1973 (Bigg 1982, Bigg et al. 1987, 1990, Olesiuk et al. 1990, Ford 1989, Ford et al. 1998, 2000, Barrett-Lennard 2000).”

Estimating abundance of killer whales in the nearshore waters of the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands using line-transect sampling (2007, methodology): “Fixed mtDNA sequence diVerences have been found between known killer whale ecotypes in long-term study sites in the North PaciWc Ocean (Hoelzel et al. 1998, 2002; Barrett-Lennard 2000).”
