Response of travelling bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) to experimental approaches by a powerboat in Jervis Bay, New South Wales, Australia (2006, methodology): “…1982; Nowacek et al., 2001) and in breathing rates (Janik and Thompson, 1996), increased swimming speed (Kruse, 1998; Nowacek et al., 2001) and dive times (Ng and Leung, 2003), and changes in calling rates (Lesage et al., 1999; Scarpaci et al., 2000; Van Parijs and Corkeron, 2001; Buckstaff, 2004).”
The Hidden Cost of Tourism: Detecting Long-term Effects of Tourism Using Behavioral Information (2004, background): “Several studies have detected horizontal avoidance, increased dive intervals, increased speed, and variations in vocalizations (Kruse 1991, Corkeron 1995, Janik and Thompson 1996, Bejder et al. 1999, Nowacek et al. 2001, Van Parijs and Corkeron 2001, Williams et al. 2002).”
BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS INCREASE BREATHING SYNCHRONY IN RESPONSE TO BOAT TRAFFIC (2003, background): “For example, it is possible that engine noise might mask certain dolphin calls making it less efficient for dolphins to communicate or forage acoustically while boats are present (e.g., Van Parijs and Corkeron 2001).”
