Estimating minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) boing sound density using passive acoustic sensors

Martin, Stephen W.; Marques, Tiago A.; Thomas, Len; Morrissey, Ronald P.; DiMarzio, Nancy; Moretti, David; Mellinger, David K.; Jarvis, Susan (Society for Marine Mammalogy, 2013-01)

Density estimation for marine mammal species is performed primarily using visual distance sampling or capture-recapture. Minke whales in Hawaiian waters are very difficult to sight; however, they produce a distinctive ...
Spatially explicit capture–recapture methods to estimate minke whale density from data collected at bottom-mounted hydrophones

Marques, Tiago A.; Thomas, Len; Martin, Stephen W.; Mellinger, David K.; Jarvis, Susan; Morrissey, Ronald P.; Ciminello, Carroll-Anne; DiMarzio, Nancy (Springer, 2012-02)

Estimation of cetacean abundance or density using visual methods can be cost-ineffective under many scenarios. Methods based on acoustic data have recently been proposed as an alternative, and could potentially be more e ...
