Confusion reigns? A review of marine megafauna interactions with tidal-stream environments (2015, background): “2014) and/or through teaching specific foraging techniques to offspring (vertical transfer or cultural transmission; Whitehead et al. 2004).”
Recreational fishing depredation and associated behaviors involving common bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ) in Sarasota Bay, Florida (2011, background): “…populations from overfishing by commercial and recreational fisheries, cultural transmission of the behavior through populations, and continued feeding of wild cetaceans by humans (Myers and Worm 2003, Sutinen and Johnston 2003, Wells 2003, Coleman et al. 2004, Whitehead et al. 2004, Read 2008).”
Bioacoustic monitoring of animal vocal behavior for conservation (2019, background): “Moreover, the importance of preserving culture (socially learned behaviors) within groups of social species, termed “culturally significant units,” is increasingly recognized (Kühl et al., 2019; Ryan, 2006; Whitehead et al., 2004).”
Strong maternal fidelity and natal philopatry shape genetic structure in North Pacific humpback whales (2013, unknown): “The loss of maternal traditions in some populations of whales has been attributed to intensive hunting, slowing the recovery of whales in regions of their former distribution (Whitehead et al. 2004, Clapham et al. 2008, Carroll et al. 2011).”
Developmental evidence for foraging traditions in wild bottlenose dolphins (2009, background): “…for conservation, community ecology and evolution of brain size, cognitive abilities and interspecific differences (Reader & Laland 2002; Bolnick et al. 2003; Whitehead et al. 2004), greater appreciation of the roles and contexts of social learning in shaping behavioural diversity is needed.”
The emerging significance of bioacoustics in animal species conservation (2010, background): “Dialects are claimed as a classical example of neutral variation, because they often represent an incidental by-product of the stochastic evolution of isolated nuclei (Slater 1986, Whitehead et al. 2004).”
