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.

Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Odontocetes
Author: Bernd WürsigPublisher: 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.
