Dear colleagues,

I would like to share with you a recent publication:

Rossi-Santos, M.R and Oliveira, G. (2016). Combining Cetacean Soundscape Ecology and Niche Modeling to contribute in the Mapping of the Brazilian Continental Shelf, p. 141-166. In: C.W. Finkl, C. Makowski (eds.), Seafloor Mapping along Continental Shelves, Coastal Research Library 13, DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-25121-9_6 

Abstract:

This chapter will introduce readers to the marine soundscape ecology through a cetacean study perspective. Unravelling the behavioral ecology of whales and dolphins in the south- western Atlantic Ocean provides information about the marine habitat in which they live, in this case, the continental shelf. The study also describes methods for underwater mapping such as bioacoustics, photo-video recordings, GIS and behavioral observations.
