Marine Protected Area Design and the Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Cetaceans in a Submarine Canyon
- S. Hooker, H. Whitehead, S. Gowans
- Geology
- 1 June 1999
Abstract: The Gully, the largest submarine canyon off the coast of eastern Canada, is currently under consideration as a marine conservation area, primarily because of the increasing interest in oil… Expand
Ranging behaviour of forest-dwelling ship rats, Rattus rattus, and effects of poisoning with brodifacoum.
Abstract We radio‐tracked five male and four female rats for 6 nights in primary forest at Rotoehu, North Island. New Zealand. From trapping we estimated rat density at the study site to be 6.2… Expand
Diet of northern bottlenose whales inferred from fatty-acid and stable-isotope analyses of biopsy samples
- S. Hooker, S. Iverson, P. Ostrom, S. Smith
- Biology
- 1 August 2001
The Gully submarine canyon off eastern Canada has been designated a pilot marine protected area largely because of the northern bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus) found there. Studies of this… Expand
Marine Reserves as a Tool for Ecosystem-Based Management: The Potential Importance of Megafauna
Abstract Marine predators attract significant attention in ocean conservation planning and are therefore often used politically to promote reserve designation. We discuss whether their ecology and… Expand
Deep–diving behaviour of the northern bottlenose whale, Hyperoodon ampullatus (Cetacea: Ziphiidae)
Using suction–cup attached time–depth recorder/VHF radio tags, we have obtained the first diving data on northern bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus), the first such data on any species within… Expand
Making protected area networks effective for marine top predators
- S. Hooker, A. Cañadas, K. Hyrenbach, C. Corrigan, J. Polovina, R. Reeves
- Biology
- 9 March 2011
The design of ecological networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) is generally based on the identification of areas of high abundance for species of conservation concern or focal biodiver- sity… Expand
Diving and ranging behaviour of odontocetes: a methodological review and critique
TLDR
Fluctuations in distribution and patterns of individual range use of northern bottlenose whales
- S. Hooker, H. Whitehead, Shannon Gowans, R. Baird
- Geography
- 11 January 2002
This study investigated the pattern and scale of distribution, movements and range use of the northern bottlenose whale Hyperoodon ampullatus above a submarine canyon, the Gully, off eastern Canada… Expand
Genetic diversity and population structure among northern bottlenose whales, Hyperoodon ampullatus, in the western North Atlantic Ocean
- M. Dalebout, S. Hooker, I. Christensen
- Biology
- 1 March 2001
To assess population structure and genetic diversity among northern bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus), we compared mitochondrial DNA control region sequences from three populations in the… Expand
Population size and residency patterns of northern bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus) using the Gully, Nova Scotia
- Shannon Gowans, H. Whitehead, Jakobina K. Arch, S. Hooker
- Geography
- 20 March 2000
A population of northern bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus) uses the Gully, a submarine canyon off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Eleven years of photo-identification records has permitted… Expand
