THE USE OF NATURAL MARKINGS IN STUDIES OF LONG‐FINNED PILOT WHALES (GLOBICEPHALA MELAS) (2007, methodology): “As in Ottensmeyer and Whitehead (2003), only fins having at least three mark points in photographs of Q > 2 were considered marked and thus adequate for matching.”
Population structure of short‐finned pilot whales in the oceanic archipelago of Madeira based on photo‐identification and genetic analyses: implications for conservation (2013, background): “, 1990), or the long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas) with non-random social systems based on constant companions (Ottensmeyer and Whitehead, 2003; de Stephanis et al., 2008).”
Social structure of Risso’s dolphins (Grampus griseus) at the Azores: a stratified community based on highly associated social units (2008, background): “, Baird and Whitehead 2000), and pilot whale (genus Globicephala Lesson, 1828: e.g., Heimlich-Boran 1993; Ottensmeyer and Whitehead 2003).”
Culture and conservation of non-humans with reference to whales and dolphins: review and new directions (2004, background): “Although culture has not been studied in pilot whales, they seem to have social structures with similar general attributes to orcas and sperm whales (Heimlich-Boran, 1993; Ottensmeyer and Whitehead, 2003), the types that seem to promote conformist cultures.”
