[MARMAM] New publication: First biologging data finds remarkably fast biosonar and movement strategy for Sowerby's beaked whale

2022-05-17 Thread fvisser
Dear marmam, It is our pleasure to share our recent publication on the biosonar and movement strategy of Sowerby's beaked whales. The first biologging data on this species, from individuals tagged off Terceira, Azores with Dtags, showed surprisingly fast swimming and hunting behaviour, combine

Dear all, My co-authors and I are happy to announce our paper on a spin dive performed by Risso's dolphins that they specifically enables them to very quickly reach deep prey layers. Their foraging dive starts with a rapid spin, a the surface, and reaches 300-600 m deep. Off the Azores, Risso
