Techniques for cetacean-habitat modeling (2006, methodology): “For example, arrays of military hydrophones have been used to study the distribution of vocalizing whales at distances of 100s of miles (Watkins et al. 2000), and autonomous seafloor instruments have been used to continuously assess cetacean presence for periods up to a year (Stafford et al. 1998,…”
Temporal and geographical variation in songs of humpback whales, Megaptera novaeangliae: synchronous change in Hawaiian and Mexican breeding assemblages (2001, background): “Furthermore, humpbacks are nearsurface vocalizers, and thus, probably very little sound energy makes it into the deep sound channel (Watkins et al. 2000); W. A. Watkins (personal communication) estimates that most energy in song is lost after 30–50 km, with maximum detections limited to 100– 300…”
Temporal separation of blue whale call types on a southern California feeding ground (2007, methodology): “The primary instruments used for this study were Acoustic Recording Packages (ARPs) (Wiggins 2003).”
Biogeographic characterisation of blue whale song worldwide: using song to identify populations (2023, background): “Data from the Wake Island and New Zealand hydrophones were provided by the Proto-type International Data Center of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organisation.”
US Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico marine mammal stock assessments - 2015 (2016, background): “However, the popular notion that entire fin whale populations make distinct annual migrations like some other mysticetes has questionable support in the data; in the North Pacific, year-round monitoring of fin whale calls found no evidence for large-scale migratory movements (Watkins et al. 2000).”
