      In order to properly consider how behavioral responses to anthropogenic noise affect marine mammals and establish safety limits for sonar operations, there is a need to establish behavioral impact criteria. In order to ...

      The 3S-projects is an international collaborative effort with the aim to investigate behavioral reactions of cetaceans to naval sonar signals, in order to establish safety limits for sonar operations. This report summarizes ...

    • Biological significance of sperm whale responses to sonar: Comparison with anti-predator responses 

      Curé, Charlotte; Isojunno, Saana; Visser, Fleur; Wensveen, Paul J.; Sivle, Lise Doksæter; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Miller, Patrick J.O. (2016)
      A key issue when investigating effects of anthropogenic noise on cetacean behavior is to identify the biological significance of the responses. Predator presence can be considered a natural high-level disturbance stimulus ...

    • Cetaceans and naval sonar : the 3S-2009 cruise report 

      Kvadsheim, Petter H.; Lam, Frans-Peter; Miller, Patrick; Kleivane, Lars; Alves, Ana Catarina; Antunes, Ricardo; Bocconcelli, Alex; van IJsselmuide, Sander; Olivierse, Marijke; Visser, Fleur (2009)
      Forsvaret har utrykt behov for å få kartlagt sjøpattedyrs følsomhet overfor sonarsignaler, også atferdsmessige påvirkninger. 3S-konsortiet, som for tiden består av fire partnere, FFI, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution ...

    • Disturbance-specific social responses in long-finned pilot whales, Globicephala melas 

      Visser, Fleur; Curé, Charlotte; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Tyack, Peter L.; Miller, Patrick J.O. (2016)
      Social interactions among animals can influence their response to disturbance. We investigated responses of long-finned pilot whales to killer whale sound playbacks and two anthropogenic sources of disturbance: tagging ...

    • First indications that northern bottlenose whales are sensitive to behavioural disturbance from anthropogenic noise 

      Miller, Patrick J.O.; Kvadsheim, Petter Helgevold; Lam, Frans-Peter A.; Tyack, Peter L.; Curé, Charlotte; DeRuiter, Stacy; Kleivane, Lars; Sivle, Lise Doksæter; van IJsselmuide, Sander; Visser, Fleur; Wensveen, Paul J.; von Benda-Beckmann, Alexander M.; López, L Martin; Narazaki, T; Hooker, S. (2015)
      Although northern bottlenose whales were the most heavily hunted beaked whale, we have little information about this species in its remote habitat of the North Atlantic Ocean. Underwater anthropogenic noise and disruption ...

    • Lack of behavioural responses of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) indicate limited effectiveness of sonar mitigation
