Drone Up! Quantifying Whale Behavior From a New Perspective Improves Observational Capacity (2018, background): “, 2015); and exhalent sample collection of cetacean blows (Acevedo-Whitehouse et al., 2010; Pirotta et al., 2017).”
An Economical Custom-Built Drone for Assessing Whale Health (2017, methodology): “…variety of applications including aerial surveys, monitoring, habitat use, abundance estimates, photogrammetry and biological sampling e.g., whale “blow” (Hogg et al., 2009; Acevedo-Whitehouse et al., 2010; Hodgson et al., 2013; Durban et al., 2015; Pomeroy et al., 2016; Schofield et al., 2017).”
Noise Levels of Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with Implications for Potential Underwater Impacts on Marine Mammals (2016, methodology): “Altitudes of 5 and 10m may be used in the field for collection of exhalations (Acevedo-Whitehouse et al., 2010), but are in general well below more commonly used flight altitudes of >30m above marine mammals (Durban et al., 2015; Christiansen et al., 2016).”
