Join us via Crowdcast for Cetacean Sessions - a free bi-weekly webinar series where we discuss impactful cetacean science with those conducting it around the world. Cetacean Sessions is informal, educational, interactive and geared towards those studying or interested in cetaceans. The premier of Cetacean Sessions is Thursday, April 1st at 7:00 pm Pacific Time. In the first session I will be discussing the research and results my co-authors and I presented in the publication: Movements and Dive Behaviour of a Toothfish-Depredating Killer and Sperm Whale ( https://academic.oup.com/icesjms/article/76/1/298/5103434?login=true). Session #2 on April 15th will be focused on passive feeding behaviour of baleen whales and will discuss the publications: Tread-water feeding of Bryde’s whales (https://www.cell.com/current-biology/comments/S0960-9822(17)31243-5) and The innovation and diffusion of trap-feeding, a novel humpback whale foraging strategy (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/mms.12557) with respective lead authors, Takashi Iwata and Christie McMillan. Session #3 on April 29th will highlight behavioural responses of odontocetes to dead conspecifics and will discuss Epimeletic behaviour in a Southern Resident Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) ( https://www.canadianfieldnaturalist.ca/index.php/cfn/article/view/2555/2593) with lead author Taylor Shedd, and in session #4 on May 13th we will chat with Hal Whitehead about his recent publication: Adaptation of sperm whales to open-boat whalers: rapid social learning on a large scale?
