Abundance of humpback whales in Oceania using photo-identification and microsatellite genotyping (2012, background): “For long-lived, slow-breeding species with large home ranges, such as baleen whales, there are several challenges to estimating abun- dance, especially when managing recovering populations (Hammond 1990, Stevick et al. 2003).”
New paradigms for supporting the resilience of marine ecosystems. (2005, background): “(e.g. whales, turtles, dugongs, sharks and reef-building corals), recovery following controls on overfishing or pollution is necessarily slow [49, 76 ].”
Accelerating population decline of Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) (2012, background): “Cetacean population decline rates can be estimated directly by using historical abundance estimates (Stevick et al., 2003; George, 2004; Zerbini et al., 2006; Zhao et al., 2008), or by demographic approaches (Fujiwara and Caswell, 2001; Stolen and Barlow, 2003; Moore and Read, 2008; Currey et al.,…”
Assessing plausible rates of population growth in humpback whales from life-history data (2010, background): “During the period considered, this population may have increased by at least 20% ( Stevick et al. 2003; Punt et al. 2006).”
Status of the world's baleen whales (2016, background): “…more than 80,000 for the Southern Hemisphere (Table 2; seven stocks, including the Arabian Sea), 10,290–13,390 for the North Atlantic in 1993 (Stevick et al. 2003 and see Ryan et al. 2014; one stock), and 21,063 for the North Pacific in 2006 (Barlow et al. 2011; basin-wide estimate from…”

Estimating survival and abundance in a bottlenose dolphin population taking into account transience and temporary emigration (2009, unknown): “Typically, estimation of population size has been based on closed-population models, including series of 2-sample Peterson estimates (e.g. Stevick et al. 2003) or multi-sample estimators allow- © Inter-Research 2009 · www.int-res.com*Email: monica@uac.pt KEY WORDS: Pollock’s robust design · Open…”
Habitat-based spatial models of cetacean density in the eastern Pacific Ocean (2012, background): “Cetacean densities are typically estimated by line-transect surveys or mark-recapture studies (e.g. Inter-Research 2012 · www.int-res.com*Email karin.forney@noaa.gov KEY WORDS: Cetacean · Habitat · Spatial density model · Distribution · Pacific Ocean · Generalized additive model Resale or republicat”
US Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico marine mammal stock assessments - 2015 (2016, background): “The best available estimate of the average rate of increase for the West Indies breeding population [which includes the Gulf of Maine feeding stock] is 3.1% per year (SE= 0.005) for the period 1979-1993 (Stevick et al. 2003).”
