Spatial and temporal distribution of cetaceans in the mid-Atlantic waters around the Azores (2014, background): “…borealis that forages in the Labrador Sea migrates through the archipelago during spring (Prieto et al. 2012); the E. glacialis sighted in the Azores belonged to the western population (Silva et al. 2012); also, an O. orca was tracked from eastern Canada to near the Azores (Matthews et al. 2011).”
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the Canadian Arctic: Distribution, prey items, group sizes, and seasonality (2012, methodology): “However, other research methods, including use of TEK (Ferguson, unpublished data; this study), photo-identification (Young et al., in press), and satellite tagging and focal follows (Matthews et al. 2011), are all providing important information on killer whale ecology in the Canadian Arctic.”
Whale killers: Prevalence and ecological implications of killer whale predation on humpback whale calves off Western Australia (2015, background): “Furthermore, recent satellite-tracking studies in the North Atlantic (Matthews et al. 2011), North Pacific (Durban et al., unpublished data), and Southern Ocean (Durban and Pitman 2012, unpublished data) have shown that mammal-eating killer whales from high latitudes are capable of rapid, long…”
