• Close approaches by vessels elicit surface active behaviors by southern resident killer whales (2009, background): “These include: decreased use of primary habitats (Allen & Read 2000, Lusseau 2005), altered spatial distribution among individuals (Au & Perryman 1982, Bejder et al. 1999, 2006, Nowacek et al. 2001, Jelinski et al. 2002), altered behavioral budgets (Chilvers et al. 2003, Coscarella et al. 2003,…”
• Vessel traffic disrupts the foraging behavior of southern resident killer whales Orcinus orca (2009, background): “Vessel activity is also believed to reduce foraging success in other species (Tursiops; Allen & Read 2000).”
• Response of travelling bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) to experimental approaches by a powerboat in Jervis Bay, New South Wales, Australia (2006, background): “…by dolphins of foraging areas, disruption to surface behaviour such as changes in surfacing and breathing patterns, and changes to group orientation, size and cohesion (e.g., Janik and Thompson, 1996; Allen and Read, 2000; Nowacek et al., 2001; Hastie et al., 2003; Goodwin and Cotton, 2004).”
• Synthesis Human-caused Disturbance Stimuli as a Form of Predation Risk (2002, background): “Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) avoided important foraging areas when motorboat traffic was high (Allen and Read 2000).”
• Implications for marine mammals of large-scale changes in the marine acoustic environment (2008, background): “Allen and Read (2000) showed that dolphins will move away from foraging habitats when vessel traffic is heavy.”
• Dolphin-watching tour boats change bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) behaviour (2004, background): “The consistent response of dolphins to the presence of permitted boats in the Bay of Islands over the research period suggests that this population, despite frequent contact, have not habituated to these tours.”
• FOOD AVAILABILITY AND TIGER SHARK PREDATION RISK INFLUENCE BOTTLENOSE DOLPHIN HABITAT USE (2002, background): “If human disturbance, like boating activity (e.g., Allen and Read 2000), is greatest in high productivity habitats, it is possible that dolphins will not make full use of their food resources, effectively reducing the carrying capacity of the environment.”
