Towards scalable modern marine ecosystem monitoring
… model that integrates empirical whale diving behavior and realistic vessel kinematics, to evaluate the detection performance of surface-based thermal infrared sensors under realistic operational conditions, providing an evidence base for speed-restriction and real-time avoidance …

The cost of locomotion in North Atlantic right whales (<italic>Eubalaena glacialis</italic>)
… when in</p><p>a neutral position, but nearly all behaviors result in some increase in that force.</p><p>Too much energy devoted to locomotion may reduce the available surplus necessary</p><p>for population-level factors such as reproduction.

Swimming behavior and energetics of sharks
In a field study of blue shark swimming behavior, acoustic telemetry was used to record depth, swimming speed and tailbeat frequency from free-ranging blue sharks (Prionace glauca) in northwestern Atlantic slope waters. Records obtained from five sharks show a consistent pattern of vertical …

Social behavior of the Cuvier’s beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris) investigated by telemetry and photo-identification
<p>Studies of the social behavior of Cuvier’s beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) are challenging because of their pelagic habitat and the limited time they spend at the surface. The sociality of these deepest diving mammals is of great interest, however, including how social behavior might …
