Hector�s dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori) is an endangered coastal species endemic to New Zealand. Their distribution, like other marine organisms, is intertwined with the dynamics of their local habitats, and at a larger scale, the coastal waters around New Zealand. The main purpose of this thesis was to identify specific habitat requirements of this rare dolphin. Hector�s dolphin distribution around the South Island was quantified along several temporal and spatial scales. Large-scale densi...

The study of dolphin cognition involves intensive research of animal vocal- izations recorded in the field. In this dissertation I address the automated analysis of audible dolphin communication. I propose a system called the signal imager that automatically discovers patterns in dolphin signals. These patterns are invariant to frequency shifts and time warping transformations. The discovery algorithm is based on feature learning and unsupervised time series segmentation using hidden Markov mode...

Greater knowledge of the rough-toothed dolphin, Steno bredanensis, is needed to effectively contribute to conservation and management efforts for this species. The primary purpose of this research was to describe ecological and biological parameters for S. bredanensis that will be useful in future assessments of population stress. Several approaches were used to study S. bredanensis, including investigations of free-ranging populations, dead specimens, and captive individuals. Free-ranging rough...

Vocalisations of free-ranging Hector's dolphins were recorded with wide-band recording equipment. Preliminary analyses of these sounds showed them to be high-frequency clicks centred around 120-125kHz. Digital signal processing methods were used to automatically measure many features of the sounds and, in combination with multivariate statistical methods, to provide a quantitative analysis of the acoustic repertoire of Hector's dolphins. Almost all of the sounds made were narrowband, high-freque...

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / The research described in this thesis is a continuation of work started by the Applied Research Laboratories of the University of Texas at Austin into the analysis of biosonar signals. Experiments conducted in 1997 on two species of small toothed whales found these species to emit significant high frequency signal components, extending to as high as 400 to 500 kHz. To assess the importance of these high frequencies in dolphin echolocation ...

Si les progrès dans ce domaine sont bien réels pour certains stocks de grande importance commerciale, la situation est différente pour les stocks dits à données limitées.

碩士 / 國立清華大學 / 系統神經科學研究所 / 98 / Abstract Observational learning is the ability to learn through observing others’ behavior. The benefit of observational learning is clear in that individuals can save time and energy without try-and-error learning, and enhance the chance of survival and reproduction. Cephalopods (squid, octopus, and cuttlefish) have the most sophisticated central nervous system among invertebrates, thus it is conceivable that cephalopods can develop some forms of cognition. Althou...

Since neonates are often the age-class most susceptible to predation, there should be strong selective pressure on prey for the early development of successful antipredator behaviour. The ability to assess predation risk as early as the embryonic stages may increase an individual’s survival, as it would allow young individuals to be better adapted to current predation risk, since present conditions are often a good short-term indicator of future conditions. I exposed embryonic cuttlefish (Sepia ...
