BEHAVIORAL SAMPLING METHODS FOR CETACEANS: A REVIEW AND CRITIQUE

Open access
Mann, Janet·1999·Marine Mammal Science

Abstract

Behavioral scientists have developed methods for sampling behavior in order to reduce observational biases and to facilitate comparisons between studies. A review of 74 cetacean behavioral field studies published from 1989 to 1995 in Marine Mammal Science and The Canadian Journal of Zoology suggests that cetacean researchers have not made optimal use of available methodology. The survey revealed that a large proportion of studies did not use reliable sampling methods. Ad libitum sampling was used most often (59%). When anecdotal studies were excluded, 45% of 53 behavioral studies used ad libitum as the predominant method. Other sampling methods were continuous, onezero, incident, point, sequence, or scan sampling. Recommendations for sampling methods are made, depending on identifiability of animals, group sizes, dive durations, and change in group membership.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
