Behavioural drivers of the ecological roles and importance of marine mammals (2015, background): “…be - havioural responses to vessel traffic can lead to increased swimming speed and dive duration (Nowacek et al. 2001), modification of activity budgets (Constantine et al. 2004, Stockin et al. 2008, Pirotta et al. 2015) and changes in habitat use and relative abundance (Bejder et al. 2006).”
Meta-analyses of whale-watching impact studies: Comparisons of cetacean responses to disturbance (2016, background): “…2002, Lusseau 2003, Visser et al. 2011, Lundquist et al. 2012, Christiansen et al. 2013a,b) Some studies also report that long-term consequences on individual reproductive success and population size can arise due to repeated behavioral disruptions (Constantine et al. 2004, Bej der et al. 2006a,b).”
Decline in Relative Abundance of Bottlenose Dolphins Exposed to Long‐Term Disturbance (2006, background): “…pressure on cetaceans is substantially greater than in Shark Bay (e.g., British Columbia, Canada [e.g., Williams et al. 2002]; Bay of Islands and Fjordland, New Zealand [e.g., Constantine et al. 2004; Lusseau 2004]; Port Stephens, Australia [e.g., Allen 2005]; Hawaii, U.S.A. [e.g., Forest 2001]).”
POPULATION SIZE, DISTRIBUTION, AND BEHAVIOR OF INDO‐PACIFIC BOTTLENOSE (TURSIOPS ADUNCUS) AND HUMPBACK (SOUSA CHINENSIS) DOLPHINS OFF THE SOUTH COAST OF ZANZIBAR (2006, background): “These activities, which mainly target the bottlenose dolphins, have been shown to affect dolphin behavior in this area (Englund and Berggren 2002, Stensland 2004) as well as in other regions (see e.g., Lusseau 2003, Constantine et al. 2004).”
The Effects of Ship Noise on Marine Mammals—A Review (2019, background): “…can cause a shift in dolphin behavioral budgets, generally increasing time spent traveling whilst decreasing time spent resting and socializing (Lusseau, 2003a; Constantine et al., 2004; Stensland and Berggren, 2007; Arcangeli and Crosti, 2009; Steckenreuter et al., 2012; Marley et al., 2017b).”
Recreational fishing depredation and associated behaviors involving common bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ) in Sarasota Bay, Florida (2011, background): “Changes in activity budgets as a result of depredation and associated behaviors can be useful for assessing impacts on cetacean populations (Lusseau 2003, 2004, 2006; Constantine et al. 2004; Danil et al. 2005; Bejder et al. 2006; Williams et al. 2006).”
Close approaches by vessels elicit surface active behaviors by southern resident killer whales (2009, background): “…2006, Nowacek et al. 2001, Jelinski et al. 2002), altered behavioral budgets (Chilvers et al. 2003, Coscarella et al. 2003, Lusseau 2003a, 2004, Constantine et al. 2004, King & Heinen 2004, Lemon et al. 2006, Williams et al. 2006, Hodgson & Marsh 2007, Lusseau et al. 2009), changed swimming…”
Flock size and human disturbance affect vigilance of endangered red-crowned cranes (Grus japonensis) (2011, background): “Nevertheless, some studies have found a general increase in vigilance in more disturbed environments (Manor and Saltz, 2003; Constantine et al., 2004; Randler, 2006; Jayakody et al., 2008; Benhaiem et al., 2008).”
Sex and sociality in a disconnected world: A review of the impacts of habitat fragmentation on animal social interactions (2007, background): “However, negative fitness impacts were demonstrated in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus (Montagu, 1821)), where prolonged human disturbance was associated with individual behavioural changes and population decline (Constantine et al. 2004; Bejder et al. 2006).”
Response of travelling bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) to experimental approaches by a powerboat in Jervis Bay, New South Wales, Australia (2006, methodology): “It appeared that dolphins became aware of the approaching vessel and consequently changed their surface behaviour from travelling to milling, a ‘transition’ behaviour (Constantine et al., 2004), and changed their direction of travel away from the powerboat.”
Behavioural changes in female Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins in response to boat-based tourism (2007, background): “Several studies have shown that these activities can affect dolphin behaviour (Lusseau 2003a, Constantine et al. 2004), breathing rate (Janik & Thompson 1996, Lusseau 2003b), interindividual distance (Bejder et al. 1999, Nowacek et al. 2001), and can increase swimming speed (Nowacek et al. 2001)…”
