... movement behavior recorded from archival tags could accurately identify foraging events by fish-eating killer whales. We used multisensor bio-logging tags attached by suction cups to Southern Resident killer whales ( Orcinus orca ) to: (1) identify a stereotyped movement signature that co-occurred...

... measurements affected by flow noise, consistent ambient noise estimates were made for two killer whales ( Orcinus orca ) with DTAGs attached simultaneously. The method is applicable to any multi-channel acoustic tag, enabling application to a wide range of marine species. References Ainslie , M...

..., it is crucial to understand how diet isotopic values are reflected in consumer tissues. In this study, we investigated patterns of isotopic discrimination between diet and blood constituents of two species of cetaceans (killer whale, Orcinus orca, and bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus ) fed controlled...

...Paolo Domenici; Robert S. Batty; Tiu Similä; Erick Ogam ABSTRACT Killer whales ( Orcinus orca ) feeding on herring ( Clupea harengus ) in a fjord in northern Norway were observed using underwater video. The whales cooperatively herded herring into tight schools close to the surface. During herding...
