      Article
      Accés obert
      Male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) produce complex, patterned songs that are traditionally recorded on their breeding grounds. In this work, we report results from the first continuous acoustic monitoring of a ...
    • Implementation of a method to visualize noise-induced hearing loss in mass stranded cetaceans 

      Morell Ybarz, María; Brownlow, Andrew; McGovern, Barry; Raverty, Stephen A.; Shadwick, Robert E.; André, Michel (Macmillan Publishers, 2017-02-06)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Assessment of the impact of noise over-exposure in stranded cetaceans is challenging, as the lesions that lead to hearing loss occur at the cellular level and inner ear cells are very sensitive to autolysis. Distinguishing ...
    • Space–time and hybrid algorithms for the passive acoustic localisation of sperm whales and vessels 

      Houégnigan, Ludwig; Zaugg, Serge Alain; Van der Schaar, Mike Connor Roger Malcolm; André, Michel (2010-11)
