Aim: Species distribution models (SDMs) are essential tools in ecology and conservation. However, the scarcity of visual sightings of marine mammals in remote polar areas hinders the effective application of SDMs there. Passive acoustic monitoring …
Acoustic presence data on Antarctic blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia) were obtained from passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) data collected at five different positions in the Weddell Sea and along the Greenwich meridian between March 2008 …
The dataset presents maps for the year-round habitat suitability of the Antarctic blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia) in the Southern Ocean. These maps represent predictions from dynamic species distribution models using MaxEnt software. …
The dataset presents maps for the year-round habitat suitability of the Antarctic minke whales (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) in the Southern Ocean. These maps represent predictions from dynamic species distribution models using MaxEnt software. In these …
The dataset presents maps for the year-round habitat suitability of the fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in the Southern Ocean. These maps represent predictions from dynamic species distribution models using MaxEnt software. In these models, …
The dataset presents maps for the year-round habitat suitability of the humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the Southern Ocean. These maps represent predictions from dynamic species distribution models using MaxEnt software. In these models, …
These animated videos represent daily and weekly mean habitat suitability from dynamic species distribution models on four baleen whale species in the Southern Ocean: Antarctic minke (Balaenoptera bonaerensis), Antarctic blue (Balaenoptera musculus …
Species distribution models (SDMs) relate species information to environmental conditions to predict potential species distributions. The majority of SDMs are static, relating species presence information to long-term average environmental …
Humpback whales are thought to undertake annual migrations between their low latitude breeding grounds and high latitude feeding grounds. However, under specific conditions, humpback whales sometimes change their migratory destination or skip …
Aim: Information on the spatiotemporal distribution of marine species is essential for developing proactive management strategies. However, sufficient information is seldom available at large spatial scales, particularly in polar areas. The Southern …
