Whale killers: Prevalence and ecological implications of killer whale predation on humpback whale calves off Western Australia (2015, background): “…that, apart from a few notable exceptions (e.g., Tarpy 1979, Silber et al. 1990, Fl orez-Gonz alez et al. 1994, Pitman et al. 2001, Barrett-Lennard et al. 2011), successful attacks have rarely been documented (Jefferson et al. 1991, Reeves et al. 2006, Ford and Reeves 2008, Springer et al. 2008).”
Behavioural drivers of the ecological roles and importance of marine mammals (2015, background): “…factors influencing marine mammal behaviour, often underappreciated is the possibility that marine mammal behaviour may be shaped by predation risk (e.g. Norris & Dohl 1980, Corkeron & Connor 1999, Heithaus 2001, Heithaus & Dill 2002, Ford & Reeves 2008, and see Wirsing et al. 2008 for a review).”
On the adaptive benefits of mammal migration (2014, unknown): “1996), and baleen whales (Corkeron and Connor 1999; Connor and Corkeron 2001; Ford and Reeves 2008).”
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the Canadian Arctic: Distribution, prey items, group sizes, and seasonality (2012, background): “The number of killer whales involved in attacks on large whales is, however, quite variable (Ford and Reeves 2008), and group size may also increase during the course of an attack (Pitman and Chivers 1998).”
Meta-analyses of whale-watching impact studies: Comparisons of cetacean responses to disturbance (2016, background): “Since body shape influences energetic costs, among mysticetes, species with elongated bodies (e.g. minke whales) may favor a different response compared to bulkier species like humpback whales (Ford & Reeves 2008).”
