Book Description
The long-finned pilot whale, Globicephala melas, is a widely distributed pelagic species found in cold temperate waters of the North Atlantic and southern hemisphere. This report reviews the conservation status of this species. It includes information on the whale's geographic distribution, population size and trends, protection status, habitat, general biology, species movement and behaviour, factors limiting the whale population size and distribution, and the special significance of the species for Canada. Concludes with discussion of the current consensus regarding the status of the species.

A Bibliography of the Long-finned Pilot Whale, Globicephala Melas, and the Short-finned Pilot Whale, Globicephala Macrorhynchus, in the North Atlantic Ocean
Author: Frederick W. Wenzel

ISBN:
Category : Globicephala macrorhynchus
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
"This manuscript provides a brief description of the two species of pilot whales (long-finned pilot whales, Globicephala melas (previously known as G. melaena), and the short-finned pilot whale (G. macrorhynchus), found in the North Atlantic Ocean . It then lists scientific publications relating to the biology, behavior, conservation and management, most of which were published from 1939 to present. This document focuses primarily on published literature on the distribution and abundance of the two species throughout the North Atlantic Ocean. Literature on long-finned pilot whales and short-finned pilot whales from other geographic regions is also included, as readers may gain insight into the research methodologies and findings of other stocks and populations of these two species. Unpublished articles or popular books are generally excluded, unless these contain important information not available elsewhere"--Abstract.

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Globicephala
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
Papers arising out of a field programme to examine catches of long-finned pilot whales (Globicephal melas) taken in the North Atlantic in the Faroese fishery. The papers discuss characteristics such as age and growth parameters, genetic studies and social organisation, reporductive biology, feeding and energetics, pollution and parasitology.

Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Odontocetes
Author: Bernd Würsig
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030166635
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
This book concentrates on the marine mammalian group of Odontocetes, the toothed whales, dolphins, and porpoises. In 23 chapters, a total of 40 authors describe general patterns of ethological concepts of odontocetes in their natural environments, with a strong bent towards behavioral ecology. Examples are given of particularly well-studied species and species groups for which enough data exist, especially from the past 15 years. The aim is to give a modern flavor of present knowledge of ethology and behavior of generally large-brained behaviorally flexible mammals that have evolved quite separately from social mammals on land. As well, the plight of populations and species due to humans is described in multiple chapters, with the goal that an understanding of behavior can help to solve or alleviate at least some human-made problems.
