Hi,
The following PhD thesis is available online:
Doniol-Valcroze, T. 2008. Habitat Selection and Niche Characteristics of Rorqual Whales in the Northern Gulf of St. Lawrence (Canada). PhD Thesis, McGill University, Montreal, Canada. 146 p.
I want to mention that this work would not have been possible without the involvement of two scientists who passed away very recently: Dr. David Sergeant provided great mentorship and guidance in the early stages of the project, and Dr. François Saucier generously contributed the environmental data used in most of the analyses.
The PDF (8 MB) can be downloaded at:
