• Spinner dolphins in a remote Hawaiian atoll: social grouping and population structure (2005, background): “Each photographic image (color transparency) was projected onto a screen, and its quality was assessed independent of the markings on the individual and assigned a quality grade between 1 and 100 (for comparison see Friday et al., 2000; Gailey, 2001; Gowans and Whitehead, 2001).”
• Social organization in northern bottlenose whales, Hyperoodon ampullatus: not driven by deep-water foraging? (2001, background): “Most analyses were restricted to high-quality photographs and to reliably marked individuals (no change in mark over periods of years) known from both left and right sides to ensure equal probabilities of recapture (Gowans & Whitehead 2001).”
• Aggression in bottlenose dolphins: Evidence for sexual coercion, male-male competition, and female tolerance through analysis of tooth-rake marks and behaviour (2005, unknown): “…acutorostrata; Gill & Fairbairns, 1995), bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus; George et al., 1994), bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus; Gowans & Whitehead, 2001), humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae; Carlson & Mayo, 1990), humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis; Karczmarski, 1999) and…”
• Errors in identification using natural markings: rates, sources, and effects on capture-recapture estimates of abundance (2001, background): “Pattern change has been implicated in error rates (Carlson et al. 1990; Wilson et al. 1999; Gowans and Whitehead 2001); however, none of the errors identified here was the result of pattern change.”
• THE USE OF NATURAL MARKINGS IN STUDIES OF LONG‐FINNED PILOT WHALES (GLOBICEPHALA MELAS) (2007, methodology): “For example, 66% of bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampulatus) (Gowans and Whitehead 2001) and 82% of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) (Dufault and Whitehead 1995) are identifiable.”
• Submarine canyons as important habitat for cetaceans, with special reference to the Gully: A review (2014, background): “Sometimes individual whales are observed in the same canyon over multiple years (Ciano and Huele, 2001; Gowans and Whitehead, 2001; Jaquet et al., 2000).”
