Linking Behavior to Vital Rates to Measure the Effects of Non‐Lethal Disturbance on Wildlife (2015, methodology): “…FORCon (2) For simplicity, we assumed a linear relationship between feeding activity and energy acquisition and that the daytime activity budget of undisturbed whales (Christiansen et al. (2013a) (data were collected only between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.) was also representative of night time activities.”
A bioenergetics model to evaluate demographic consequences of disturbance in marine mammals applied to gray whales (2015, methodology): “Bioenergetics models are used to understand life history requirements (Costa 2001, 2008, Molnar et al. 2009, Christiansen et al. 2013b, Fortune et al. 2013, Stephens et al. 2014) and quantitatively assess the effort animals spend acquiring resources, and how they allocate those resources.”
