An Investigation into the Distribution, Residency Patterns, Population Connectivity, and Abundance of Blue Whales (Balaenoptera musculus) in New Zealand

Creator:: Barlow, Dawn R.
Abstract:: Species conservation depends on robust population assessment. Data on population abundance, distribution, and connectivity are critical for effective management, especially as baseline information for newly documented populations. I describe a pygmy blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) population in New Zealand waters with year-round presence that overlaps with industrial activities. This...

Ecology and Distribution of Blue Whales in New Zealand Across Spatial and Temporal Scales

Creator:: Barlow, Dawn R.
Abstract:: The distribution of mobile marine predators often reflects underlying dynamic ecological processes. The geographical focus of this PhD is the South Taranaki Bight (STB) of New Zealand, where wind-driven coastal upwelling generates productivity and prey to support a blue whale foraging ground. The STB is also New Zealand’s most industrial...

Skin Deep: An Assessment of New Zealand Blue Whale Skin Condition

Creator:: Barlow, Dawn R., Pepper, Acacia L., and Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Skin condition assessment of wildlife can provide insight into individual and population health. Yet, logistics can limit skin condition assessment of large whales. We developed a standardized, quantitative protocol using photographs to assess skin condition of blue whales in New Zealand, and demonstrate the value gained by testing hypotheses, documenting...

Interannual variability in the Northern California Current food web structure: Changes in energy flow pathways and the role of forage fish, euphausiids, and jellyfish

Creator:: Ruzicka, James J., Brodeur, Richard D., Emmett, Robert L., Steele, John H., Zamon, Jeannette E., Morgan, Cheryl A., Thomas, Andrew C., and Wainwright, Thomas C.
Abstract:: The Northern California Current (NCC) is a seasonally productive and open ecosystem. It is home to both a diverse endemic community and to seasonally transient species. Productivity and food web structure vary seasonally, interannually, and decadally due to variability in coastal upwelling, climate-scale physical processes, and the migratory species entering...

Circumpolar Diversity and Geographic Differentiation of mtDNA in the Critically Endangered Antarctic Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia)

Creator:: Sremba, Angela L., Hancock-Hanser, Brittany, Branch, Trevor A., LeDuc, Rick L., and Baker, C. Scott
Abstract:: The Antarctic blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia) was hunted to near extinction between 1904 and 1972, declining from an estimated initial abundance of more than 250,000 to fewer than 400. Here, we describe mtDNA control region diversity and geographic differentiation in the surviving population of the Antarctic blue whale, using...

An integrated approach to historical population assessment of the great whales: case of the New Zealand southern right whale

Creator:: Jackson, Jennifer A., Carroll, Emma L., Smith, Tim D., Zerbini, Alexandre N., Patenaude, Nathalie J., and Baker, C. Scott
Abstract:: Accurate estimation of historical abundance provides an essential baseline for judging the recovery of the great whales. This is particularly challenging for whales hunted prior to twentieth century modern whaling, as population-level catch records are often incomplete. Assessments of whale recovery using pre-modern exploitation indices are therefore rare, despite the...

Tracking North Pacific Humpback Whales To Unravel Their Basin-Wide Movements

Creator:: Palacios, Daniel M., Mate, Bruce R., Baker, C. Scott, Hayslip, Craig E., Follett, Thomas M., Steel, Debbie, Lagerquist, Barbara A., Irvine, Ladd M., and Winsor, Martha H.
Abstract:: In 2014, Oregon State University (OSU) initiated a multi-year project to study humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) migrations in the North Pacific Ocean using satellite tracking technology in combination with genetic and photo-identification (photo-ID) analyses. The study is highly relevant to management, given the need for new information arising from the...

Accounting for female reproductive cycles in a superpopulation capture–recapture framework

Creator:: Carroll, E. L., Childerhouse, S. J., Fewster, R. M., Patenaude, N. J., Steel, D., Dunshea, G., Boren, L., and Baker, C. Scott
Abstract:: Superpopulation capture–recapture models are useful for estimating the abundance of long-lived, migratory species because they are able to account for the fluid nature of annual residency at migratory destinations. Here we extend the superpopulation POPAN model to explicitly account for heterogeneity in capture probability linked to reproductive cycles (POPAN-τ). This...

Applications of slow-moving autonomous platforms for passive acoustic monitoring and density estimation of marine mammals

Creator:: Fregosi, Selene
Abstract:: Advances in mobile autonomous vehicles for oceanographic sensing provide new opportunities for passive acoustic monitoring of marine mammals. Acoustically equipped mobile autonomous platforms, including gliders, deep-water profiling floats, and drifting surface buoys can survey for a variety of marine mammal species over intermediate spatiotemporal scales. Additionally, such mobile platforms may...
