Inferring Cetacean Population Densities from the Absolute Dynamic Topography of the Ocean in a Hierarchical Bayesian Framework

Creator:

Pardo, Mario A., Gerrodette, Tim, Beier, Emilio, Gendron, Diane, Forney, Karin A., Chivers, Susan J., Barlow, Jay, and Palacios, Daniel M.

Abstract:

We inferred the population densities of blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) and short-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in the Northeast Pacific Ocean as functions of the water-column’s physical structure by implementing hierarchical models in a Bayesian framework. This approach allowed us to propagate the uncertainty of the field observations into the...

Baker, C. Scott, Steel, Debbie, Calambokidis, John, Falcone, Erin, González-Peral, Ursula, Barlow, Jay, Burdin, Alexander M., Clapham, Phillip J., Ford, John K. B., Gabriele, Christine M., Mattila, David, Rojas-Bracho, Lorenzo, Straley, Janice M., Taylor, Barbara L., Urbán, Jorge, Wade, Paul R., Weller, David, Witteveen, Briana H., and Yamaguchi, Manami

Abstract:

We quantified the relative influence of maternal fidelity to feeding grounds and natal fidelity to breeding grounds on the population structure of humpback whales Megaptera novae-angliae based on an ocean-wide survey of mitochondrial (mt) DNA diversity in the North Pacific. For 2193 biopsy samples collected from whales in 10 feeding...
