• Summer and Autumn Movements of Belugas of the Eastern Beaufort Sea Stock (2001, background): “(2001) combine data from the Canadian eastern Arctic (Richard et al., 2001) to address the relationships between beluga distribution and seafloor depth and ice coverage.”
• Quantifying the sensitivity of Arctic marine mammals to climate-induced habitat change. (2008, background): “Several studies have documented migration patterns for narwhals (Dietz et al. 2001, Heide-Jørgensen et al. 2003a), belugas (Barber et al. 2001, Richard et al. 2001, Suydam et al. 2001), and bowheads (George et al. 2004, HeideJørgensen et al. 2006).”
• Satellite tracking of a killer whale (Orcinus orca) in the eastern Canadian Arctic documents ice avoidance and rapid, long-distance movement into the North Atlantic (2011, background): “…are generally uncommon in Admiralty Inlet during July to late September (Richard et al. 2010), and aggregations of belugas in Prince Regent Inlet during July–August have largely left the area for summer locations further west in Peel Sound by September (Smith and Martin 1994; Richard et al. 2001).”
• Killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the Canadian Arctic: Distribution, prey items, group sizes, and seasonality (2012, background): “Each cetacean species has documented concentration areas during the summer (e.g., NWMB 2000, Richard et al. 2001, Dietz et al. 2008, Ferguson et al. 2010b).”
• Surveys of belugas and narwhals in the Canadian High Arctic in 1996 (2014, background): “…13,151 17,463 (0.71) (0.55) (0.25) (0.24) Number of whales corrected for 5,898 5,240 34,159 45,358 availability bias >2m (N**) (0.75) (0.60) (0.35) (0.35) ^ ^ ^ 187 NAMMCO Scientific Publications, Volume 4 survey because belugas are known to move to Peel Sound in early August (Richard et al. 2001).”
• POLAR BEAR DIETS AND ARCTIC MARINE FOOD WEBS: INSIGHTS FROM FATTY ACID ANALYSIS (2008, background): “For instance, beluga whales commonly migrate between the Lancaster Sound and Baffin Bay regions (Richard et al. 1998, 2001, Heide-Jørgensen et al. 2003) or between Hudson Bay and Foxe Basin (Sergeant 1973).”
