Abstract:

@Moby-Dick se donne à la fois et contradictoirement comme livre anatomique et anatomie du livre : le corps s'y montre comme la tentation charnelle de l'écriture mais cette inclination est contrariée par la crainte que l'écriture ne sombre dans le mutisme de la chair ou à l'inverse qu'écrit, le corps ne soit sacrifié au monument du livre. Cette étude explore les puissantes tensions qui travaillent ce livre né du prodigieux désir d'incarner un corps colossal, d'en être le sens ultime. . .

Abstract:

Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick and Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow are two American novels that intersect stylistically and thematically. This thesis argues that Pynchon’s novel mirrors and reinvents Melville’s novel. Gravity’s Rainbow is not simply engaging with Moby-Dick, but actively reprising it for the late 20th century through the power of Pynchon’s imagination. Pynchon responds to and reimagines Melville’s book by mirroring major themes and frameworks from Melville, by adopting some of his central images, and by mirroring his profuse use of technical language to express coded spiritual beliefs and deepening character analysis. The sublime white whale is reinvented as the Schwarzgerät, a German V2 rocket loaded with the mysterious polymer Imipolex G; this profound object stands symbolically at the center of the novel much as the whale, Moby Dick, does in Melville’s opus. The monstrous “grand hooded phantom, like a snow hill in the air” (Melville 7) is re-forged as the “white finality” looming “up in the zero sky” (Pynchon 85, 87). Beyond the functions of the novels’ sublime central images, both novels are here recognized as relying on coded technical, specialist language to express metaphysical beliefs. Throughout each novel, the technical language codes the ineffable and the transcendent, allowing for an entry point to understand the functions of symbolic material. Gravity’s Rainbow echoes Moby Dick’s stylistic structure, which is vast and loose. Very few novels are identified from the world’s literary canon as “encyclopedic,” and the two here discussed are the only examples from American literature, according to Edward Mendelson’s “Encyclopedic Narrative” hypothesis, which is supported by literary critic Andrzej Kopcewicz. It is the similarities in the unconventional, encyclopedic literary style of Moby-Dick and Gravity’s Rainbow that offers one of the strongest arguments for their resonant kinship. I use the work of Lawrence Buell to deepen and critically engage the material; I also engage with the critical work of several other prominent scholars. The metaphors from science extend to the color theory at work in the main symbols present, which are white or suffused with light, such as the whale, rocket, doubloon and light bulb. This thesis argues that light and whiteness as characteristics of the symbolic objects represent evil, malignity or another dark force. I show that the color theory that ties the books together has its main genesis, for both Melville and Pynchon, in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Theory of Colors.

Abstract:

Il existe dans Moby-Dick; or, The Whale de Herman Melville, ecrit en 1851, neuf rencontres entre baleiniers en mer. Ces rencontres designees sous le nom de "gams" ne correspondent nullement a la definition donnee par melville. Par une etude textuelle approfondie, je montre que ces "gams" depassent le cadre de la narration pour s'inscrire dans une trame symbolique complexe; qu'ils representent, en quelque sorte, une miniaturisation du roman dans son ensemble; et que leur message profond est en relation etroite avec le probleme de l'ecriture et du langage, problemes qui font l'objet de mon introduction. La "White whale" constitue leur objectif commun, et a travers elle, Melville pose des problemes fondamentaux sur la creation, la transcendance, la vie et la mort, l'absence et le neant. Les "gams" s'inscrivent dans une trajectoire initiatique qui concerne aussi bien le narrateur que le lecteur, et forment un ensemble tres structure. A travers le ludique qui les caracterise, l'auteur renverse les valeurs de la civilisation judeo-chretienne pour refaire le monde a sa facon. Monde dans lequel ce qui est rejete par la societe occidentale-reprouves et excrements par exemple-- est dote de connotations posi- tives et sacrees. Le systeme digestif a une place de choix au sein de la symbolique des "gams" et, a la lumiere de recoupements divers-- gnose, alchimie et mythes de la digestion-- je montre que Melville tente d'abolir des poles apparemment divergents tels l'humain et le divin, le materiel et le spirituel. Le narrateur, parti a la recherche d'un transcendant, decouvrira son unite dans les limites memes de l'ex- perience humaine et de la matiere. Les neuf rencontres du pequod sont caracterisees par l'absence de communication, mais le mot "gam" lui ( qui ne signifie pas rencontre), symbolise une coincidentia oppositorum de la communication initiatique entre elements opposes<br>In Moby-Dick; or, The Whale, written by Herman Melville, in 1851, the pequod meets nine other ships at sea. The meetings, supposed to be "gams", do not correspond to Melville's definition of the word. Through a detailed study of the text, i try to show that the gams are to be viewed beyond the narrative frame properly speaking, that they are very well structured, and that they represent the book in miniature. They are closely related to the problems of language and writing, which constitute the main part of my introduction. The meaning of the white whale is their main objective, and through that quest, the narrator questions whiteness, creation, transcendence, life and death, absence and nothingness. Both narrator and reader are involved in the initiatic path imposed by the gams. Through the play atmosphere that pervades the gam-chapters, the narrator topples judeo-christian values to build a world of his own in which he rehabilitates whatever is rejected by western traditions, e. G. Castaways and faeces. At the heart of the symbolic web of the gams, is the digestive process, which melville elaborates fully, and, through cross-checkings with gnosis, alchemy and digestion myths, as well as through the christ image, he attempts at abolishing any dichotomy between the human and the divine, matter and spirit etc. In his search for the transcendent, the narrator will discover his own unity and identity within the limits of human experience and of matter. If the nine meetings of the pequod are characterized by the absence of any communication, the word "gam", different in meaning, symbolizes coincidentia oppositorum and initiatic communication between opposite poles

Full text

Abstract:

A perceived opposition between 'culture' and 'nature', presented as a dominant, biased and antagonistic relationship, is engrained in the language of Western culture. This opposition is reflected in, and adversely influences, our treatment of the ecosphere. I argue that through the study of literature, we can deconstruct this opposition and that such an ecocritical operation is imperative if we are to avoid environmental catastrophe. I examine the way language influences our relationship with the world and trace the historical conception of nature and its influence on the English language. The whale is, for many people, an important symbol of the natural world, and human interaction with these animals is an indication of our attitudes to the natural world in general. By focusing on whale texts (including older narratives, whaling books, novels and other whale-related texts), I explore the portrayal of whales and the natural world. Lastly, I suggest that Schopenhaurean thought, which has affinities in Moby-Dick, offers a cogent approach to ecocritically reading literature.

Full text

Abstract:

My project examines the phenomenon of the hazy spaces on the periphery of the antebellum imagination that, while existing geographically at the very fringes of daily American life, are nonetheless active in the conceptualization, production, and representation of an idiosyncratic American sense of space: an anxiety of spatial fragmentation, formlessness, and modulation. In particular I am interested in Poe's “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym” and Melville's “Benito Cereno,” both of which deal with American transoceanic travel to the proximity of Antarctica and its surrounding seas. These gothicized nautical fictions demonstrate an important dialectic playing out in these extreme spaces: the oscillating experience of external and closed space. What becomes detectable in antebellum literature in which spaces of enclosure interrupt expansiveness are far-reaching, deeply-rooted anxieties of an ever-transforming American space at risk of fragmenting and necessitating reorientation via the sort of imaginary travel texts being examined.

Full text

Abstract:

In the last two decades a series of chance discoveries and dedicated research programmes have produced a wealth of data on the post-mortem fate of whale carcasses. Biological taphonomic processes at whale skeletons on the seafloor are driven by chemical energy in the form of abundant lipid reserves in whale skeletons. Previously unrecognised variations in the lipid content of bones from different parts of whale skeletons explained patterns of faunal colonisation and bone degradation. Experimental work to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for these relationships demonstrated that the breakdown of bone lipids retards. microbial digestion of the bones, leading to differential degradation of the skeleton. Furthermore, analysis of total skeletal lipid content shows that when this value is high «1000 kg) skeletons may last for decades on the seabed until degradation or burial leading to a taphonomic bias towards large mature individuals. Another key factor in determining the longevity of whale skeletons on the seafloor is the activity of Osedax tubeworms, which bore into the bones, using them as a source of nutrition. Micro computed-tomography was used to investigate multiple aspects of bone destruction by Osedax. Rates of bone erosion by Osedax mucofloris in experimentally deployed bones varied between 1-6% per year, depending on the density of colonisation. The boring morphology of thirteen Osedax species were quantitatively described and analysed. Most species preferentially utilise the collagen matrix of the bone through the erosion of individual bone trabeculae, indicating that bone structure is largely responsible for the boring morphology. Using this information Osedax borings were described in a fossil whale bone from shelf-depth sediments from the Pliocene of Italy, indicating that by this time Osedax was widespread throughout the world's oceans. Further evidence of Osedax bioerosion in samples from the abyssal Pacific suggests that these worms probably have a worldwide distribution today.

Brickley, Christopher M. "Arthur Melville and Presbyterian realism." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 1996. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/6424.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the significance of 'Presbyterian Realism' in the context of Scottish painting in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, with particular reference to the early development of Arthur Melville. Melville travelled in Egypt and Persia in 1881-'82, reflecting the contemporary taste for Eastern subjects at the Salon and Royal Academy exhibitions. However Melville's reactions to Islam contrasted directly with his peers, whose choice and treatment of contentious themes reveal the mentality of the imperialist male bourgeoisie. Melville's redefinition of Orientalism can be attributed to the particular social, religious, moral and ethical codes he had absorbed during his formative years, a conditioning which ensured that his patrons and the governing elite in Scotland were in sympathy with his approach. The unity of discourse between these indigenous codes and the aesthetic of Melville's protomodernism' is also examined. Melville emerged from the Scottish landscape and genre school towards 'proto-modernism', where his more radical stylistic and optical advances were reconciled against traditional themes. He was one of the first modern Scottish artists to live and work in Paris, and the reasons for the reluctant assimilation of the industrialised urban environment into his art are discussed in the context of his Scottish peers and contemporary French movements.

Abstract:

Whale Tank Virtual Reality is a novel technique for collocated collaboration in virtual reality. It provides a simple solution for head-coupled virtual reality technology allowing more than one user at a time to observe a 3D scene from a correct perspective. Whale Tank VR employs natural interaction using a large touch screen display. It provides each user with a personal viewport into the virtual scene that may be joined and shared with other users’ viewports in certain circumstances of collaboration. We conducted an experiment to study the influence of head coupling on users’ awareness-and-recall of collocated coworker’s actions. The study employed a simulated collaborative situation under several levels of task difficulty. The results revealed no statistically significant difference in awareness-and-recall performance with or without the presence of head coupling. This suggests that in situations where head coupling is employed, there is no degradation in users' awareness of collocated activity. There are a number of benefits to Whale Tank VR. The head coupling is advantageous because it allows a user to experience the sense of a third dimension and to observe difficult-to-see objects without requiring additional navigation other than natural head movement. The multiple viewports available in our Whale Tank VR technique enable collocated collaboration by seamlessly adjusting the head-coupled perspectives in each viewport according to the proximity of the collaborators to ensure a consistent display at all times.

Full text

Abstract:

This study examines Emerson's influence on Melville's works from Mardi through The Confidence-Man. Each work demonstrates Melville's deep concern and keen interest in Emerson's optimistic idealism and transcendentalism and documents his changing attitude toward key Emersonian concepts. Melville questions and interprets Emerson's ideas of self-reliance and subjectivity and explores in detail Emerson's way of seeing nature and the world. Since Emerson's epistemology and ontology are epitomized in the images of "eye" and "star," Melville utilizes these images to express his response to and interpretation of Emerson. In this process he suggests the ways in which both men were geniuses of their times and possessed "a correspondent coloring." As generations of critics have noticed, Emerson's influence on Melville's work is prominent and pervasive, but it is also, at times implicit and ambiguous. In my reading of the novels, I explore the way in which Melville at once acknowledges Emerson's influence and calls a number of his crucial concepts into question. Central here are Emerson's theories of seeing and reading, problems of perception and interpretation. Though Melville agrees with Emerson's idea of the world as "an open book" or a text, he is suspicious of reading that book, for, as Melville understands it, nature is indecipherable or inscrutable. As a creative reader and a creative writer, Melville devotes his career to an attempt to write the great American work that Emerson had called for in the "American Scholar." Each of the novels I examine embodies Melville's careful and close reading and critical interpretation of Emerson and his works. Since Melville recognized Emerson as an "uncommon man" and a "great man," he was attracted to his ideas and his works. However, as his career developed, he became more and more aware of what he had called Emerson's "gaping flaw," and that flaw for Melville involved Emerson's influence on the current literary culture as well as Emerson's ideas as such. By the time of The Confidence-Man he had lost his faith in Emerson and the literary world he had come to represent.

Full text

Abstract:

Milton & Melville : Le Démon de l'allusion étudie la signification de l'allusion à Milton dans Taïpi, Moby¬Dick, L'Escroc à la confiance et Billy-Budd, Marin. Un état détaillé de la recherche sur les rapports entre les deux auteurs montre la prédominance d'une conception de l'allusion comme moyen d'identifier le sens d'un texte incertain à celui d'un autre, supposé stable ; or, il s'agit, en réalité, d'une relation dynamique et réciproque. Ludique, satirique, impie, ou érotique, l'allusion melvillienne est multiforme et variable ¬ondoiement qui la dérobe à une approche trop générale, mais en lequel réside justement un sens plus global, au-delà de simples effets locaux. Loin d'être un ornement ou un supplément, elle fait partie de la trame même du texte ; oblique, déroutante, elle n'en sert pas moins la grande ambition melvillienne d'« énoncer la Vérité ». C'est, en effet, allusivement — dans une relation, en particulier, au Paradis perdu — que Melville décrit à la fois les travers de la société contemporaine, l'aliénation du moi et la terreur des « sphères invisibles ». Le poème melvillien peut se concevoir comme un lieu où la vérité est, dans le même mouvement, dégagée et exhibée, par une chimie à la fois expérimentale et picturale. Le processus mobilise ¬selon un modèle fédéral où s'affirme une originalité américaine — une allusion complexe, dont le sens ne réside pas seulement dans les éléments importés par les textes simultanément convoqués, mais aussi dans leur interaction conflictuelle. Cet agôn allusif récurrent — qui définit notamment l'écrire-blanc de Moby-Dick — participe d'une violence relationnelle dont le Satan de Milton est le plus puissant symbole<br>Milton & Melville: The Demon of Allusion studies the significance of allusions to Milton in Typee, Moby¬Dick, The Confidence-Man and Billy-Budd, Sailor. Examining the state of research shows that allusion tends to be seen as a way to identify the meaning of an ambiguous Melvillean text with a supposedly stable Miltonic one – when in fact the allusive relationship is dynamic and reciprocal. All at once playful, satirical, impious, and erotic, Melvillean allusion is protean and thus eludes generalization. However, its very elusiveness hints at a more global significance, going beyond merely local import. Far from being just a flourish or a supplement, it is the very stuff that the text is made of. However oblique and disconcerting, it plays a crucial part in Melville's ambition to master the "great Art of Telling the Truth". Indeed, it is through allusion—in particular to Paradise Lost—that he satirizes contemporary society, explores the alienation of the self and expresses the terror of the "invisible spheres". Melville's text can be conceived of as the locus where truth is both achieved and exhibited to the reader, through a chemistry that is experimental as well as pictorial in nature. Based on a uniquely American federal model, such a process involves a complex allusive mix, the meaning of which lies not only in what the different texts bring to their host, "'but also in the destructive interaction between them. This recurrent allusive agon – the "colorless all-color" of writing – speaks to the violence of Melvillean relationships, the most powerful symbol of which is Milton's Satan

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores Herman Melville’s relationship to sceptical philosophy. By reading Melville’s fictions of the 1840s and 1850s alongside the writings of Descartes, Berkeley, Hume, and Kant, I seek to show that they manifest by turns expression, rebuttal, and mitigated acceptance of philosophical doubt. Melville was an attentive reader of philosophical texts, and he refers specifically to concepts such as Berkeleyan immaterialism and the Kantian “noumenon”. But Melville does not simply dramatise pre-existing theories; rather, in works such as Mardi, Moby-Dick, and Pierre he enacts sceptical and anti-sceptical ideas through his literary strategies, demonstrating their relevance in particular regions of human experience. In so doing he makes a substantive contribution to a philosophical discourse that has often been criticised – by commentators including Samuel Johnson and Jonathan Swift – for its tendency to abstraction. Melville’s interest in scepticism might be read as part of a wider cultural response to a period of unprecedented social and political change in antebellum America, and with this in mind I compare and contrast his work with that of Dickinson, Douglass, Emerson, and Thoreau. But in many respects Melville’s distinctive and original treatment of scepticism sets him apart from his contemporaries, and in order to fully make sense of it one must range more widely through the canons of philosophy and literature. His exploration of the ethical consequences of doubt in The Piazza Tales, for example, can be seen to anticipate with remarkable precision the theories of twentieth-century thinkers such as Emmanuel Levinas and Stanley Cavell. I work chronologically though selected prose from the period 1849-1857, paying close attention to the textual effects and philosophical allusions in each work. In so doing I hope to offer fresh ways of looking at Melville’s handling of literary form and the wider shape of his career. I conclude with reflections on how Melville’s normative emphasis on the acknowledgement of epistemological limitation might inform the practice of literary criticism.

O canto ocorre predominantemente em ?reas de reprodu??o, no entanto, machos tamb?m cantam, por?m com menor ocorr?ncia, em ?reas de alimenta??o e durante a migra??o. A fun??o do canto ainda n?o ? bem compreendida, por?m, entre muitas hip?teses propostas, as teorias predominantes s?o de que os machos cantam para atrair as f?meas, ou para estabelecer e/ou manter domin?ncia entre machos.n. Inicialmente descritos como padr?es fixos, estudos subsequentes mostraram que o canto est? sob frequentes mudan?as ao longo de uma ou mais esta??es reprodutivas dentro de uma popula??o. Este processo tem sido referido como um exemplo de evolu??o cultural. Desde o in?cio da morat?ria ? ca?a, muitas popula??es de baleias v?m se recuperando em todo o mundo e, no Brasil, acompanhando o aumento da ocorr?ncia das baleias jubarte, o turismo de observa??o (Whale-Watching) desta esp?cie vem se tornando cada vez mais frequente no estado da Bahia. Embora permita uma utiliza??o mais sustent?vel das jubartes como um recurso natural, o r?pido crescimento desse tipo de turismo vem gerando preocupa??o sobre os poss?veis efeitos que a atividade pode causar na esp?cie, em especial nas ?reas de reprodu??o, como ? o caso do Banco dos Abrolhos, litoral sul da Bahia, principal ?rea de reprodu??o da esp?cie no oeste do Oceano Atl?ntico Sul. Todas as embarca??es, desde os menores barcos at? os grandes petroleiros, produzem ru?dos, os quais variam com as caracter?sticas das mesmas. Estudos investigando as poss?veis respostas da baleia jubarte frente ? aproxima??o de embarca??es verificaram que a dura??o de alguns elementos do canto foi alterada, podendo at? mesmo levar ? interrup??o do comportamento vocal em per?odos de tr?fego intenso ou t?m seus cantos mascarados pelos ru?dos das embarca??es, o que pode ser um problema para detec??o e localiza??o de machos cantores e comunica??o entre as baleias. As consequ?ncias dessa ruptura no sistema de comunica??o podem resultar em graves efeitos sobre o sucesso de acasalamento individual, podendo at? mesmo, em longo prazo, causar efeitos na viabilidade das popula??es. Este trabalho tem como objetivo (1) analisar a varia??o na estrutura do canto das baleias jubartes no Banco dos Abrolhos durante o per?odo de 2003-2005, descrevendo as varia??es encontradas no n?vel hier?rquico de frases, e, definir linhagens de temas ao longo deste per?odo; (2) comparar o comportamento vocal de machos de baleia jubarte na presen?a e na aus?ncia de barcos a motor associados ? atividade tur?stica na regi?o do banco dos Abrolhos; e, (3) caracterizar os ru?dos das embarca??es e identificar as caracter?sticas dos barcos que influenciam nas respostas comportamentais das baleias jubarte. Vinte e um temas foram descritos entre o per?do de 2003 e 2005. Linhagens de continuidade foram definidas para temas nos quais haviam frase padr?o definida atrav?s de teste estat?stico. Foram observadas mudan?as na estrutura espectral das unidades, a introdu??o de novas unidades, unidades de remo??o e tamb?m varia??o na estrutura geral senten?a intra e inter-individual. No cap?tulo 2, o canto foi adquirido sem a presen?a de barco a motor e durante a aproxima??o de um ?nico barco a motor, o qual se aproximava seguindo as diretrizes para as atividades de "whale watching" nesta ?rea. Os resultados mostraram que embora o n?mero de frases por tema diminuam na presen?a de barco, esta diferen?a n?o ? significativa. Similarmente, a dura??o da frase tamb?m ? mantida mesmo durante a exposi??o ao ru?do de barcos a motor, o que sugere que esta m?trica deve ser importante para a comunica??o de machos reprodutivos e deve apresentar uma forte press?o seletiva para manter sua consist?ncia. Finalmente, no terceiro cap?tulo, os resultados sugerem que os sons produzidos pelos diferentes tipos de embarca??es neste estudo (veleiro e traineiras) e os diferentes tipos de motor (motor de popa e motor interior), parecem n?o ter qualquer influ?ncia no comportamento ac?stico ou espacial das jubartes. Al?m disso, os valores encontrados para as m?tricas utilizadas (3 dB bandwidth e source level) na caracteriza??o dos ru?dos produzidos pelas diferentes embarca??es, parecem n?o apresentar nenhuma associa??o com os diferentes tipos de barcos de turismo considerados na an?lise. No entanto, 71 % (n = 7) das embarca??es apresentaram valores de 3 dB bandwidth que se sobrep?e as frequencias utilizadas no canto dos machos de baleia jubarte, sugerindo o poss?vel mascaramento das vocaliza??es das baleias. Devido ? import?ncia da comunica??o ac?stica para as baleias jubarte, faz-se necess?rio compreender melhor os processos envolvidos na evolu??o do canto da esp?cie, bem como a melhor compreens?o dos poss?veis efeitos provocados pelos ru?dos das embarca??es sobre as baleias jubartes que podem fornecer informa??es relevantes na tomada de decis?es para a conserva??o e o melhor gerenciamento do turismo de observa??o das jubartes no Parque Nacional Marinho dos Abrolhos, ambiente de extrema import?ncia para a esp?cie.

Abstract:

Management plans for North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) focus on preventing mortality from ship strikes and fishing gear entanglement. However, population recovery may also be limited by nutritional stress. I derived growth curves and quantified the food requirements of North Atlantic right whales by age, sex and reproductive state. I also compared their predicted needs with field estimates of prey consumption to evaluate the model predictions and consider whether different demographic groups of right whales might be nutritionally stressed. Energy requirements were estimated using a bioenergetics model that incorporated uncertainty in energy inputs and outputs. Consumption was estimated with prey samples taken near feeding whales in two critical feeding habitats—Cape Cod Bay (n=28 net collections) and the Bay of Fundy (n=19 optical plankton counts). Model predictions indicate that mothers invest heavily in their calves, which effectively double in size and attain ~73% of their mother’s length by weaning at one year of age. Calves gained an average of ~1.7 cm and ~34 kg per day while nursing during this rapid growth phase. Body growth was best described using a two-phased Gompertz model and could not be fit using any of the single continuous growth models commonly used for other mammals. Energetically, calves required the least energy (~1129 MJ/day) and lactating females required the most (~2934 MJ/day). Adult males and non-reproductive females fell in between at ~1140 and ~1217 MJ/day respectively. Estimates of energy requirements for juveniles, adult males, pregnant and non-reproductive females compared favorably with estimates of actual prey consumption in their winter habitat (i.e., they differed by ≤15%), suggesting that the model was reliable. However, lactating females appear to obtain considerably less (~45%) of their predicted daily energy requirements in Cape Cod Bay, and almost met their needs in the Bay of Fundy (obtaining ~87% of daily requirements). This suggests that lactating females may be experiencing an energy deficit, which may affect reproductive rates and slow population recovery. Nutritional stress may thus be limiting the recovery of North Atlantic right whales.

Abstract:

The New Zealand Whale Stranding Data Base (NZWSDB) was set up in association with the Department of Conservation. The NZWSDB contains 1140 records of whale strandings involving a total of 8287 individuals, 35 species, 163 herd strandings, and 304 known live strandings. The geographical distribution and seasonality of strandings are given for 25 species of whales. Major hotspots for strandings occur at Whangarei, Hawke Bay, Farewell Spit, and Chatham Islands (Waitangi and Okawa). Herd stranding is most pronounced for offshore delphinids, in particular the pilot whale. Herd strandings are highly clumped in distribution. In contrast, single-dead strandings (indicative of the population distribution) are evenly scattered. There is a summer high and winter low in the seasonality of strandings. Physical aspects of herd stranding sites are compared with random sites. Slope and bay indentation of stranding sites are significantly different from random sites. Coastal configurations of world multiple herd stranding sites are compared and show similar protruding coastlines with long gently sloping beaches. These configurations and associated currents may trap migrating whales. Klinowska's theory relating stranding sites to geomagnetic topography is tested for 126 herd strandings and 147 single-live strandings. New Zealand herd strandings show no relationship to perpendicular geomagnetic contours or magnetic minima, and whales do not appear to avoid magnetic gradients. Weather conditions at the time of and 24 hours prior to, whale stranding dates are studied for a set of 24 pilot whale herd strandings and 4 sperm whale herd strandings. A significant relationship is found between strandings and increasing barometric pressure. No obvious relationship between whale stranding dates and the lunar cycle is found. Whale strandings are divided into nine categories based on distributional and site patterns. Theories on the causes of whale strandings are discussed. Those theories that do not explain the highly clumped nature of strandings are rejected.

Abstract:

Passive acoustic monitoring has been used to investigate many aspects of marine mammal ecology, although methods to estimate absolute abundance and density using acoustic data have only been developed in recent years. The instrument configuration in an acoustic survey determines which abundance estimation methods can be used. Sparsely distributed arrays of instruments are useful because wide geographic areas can be covered. However, instrument spacing in sparse arrays is such that the same vocalisation will not be detected on multiple instruments, excluding the use of some abundance estimation methods. The aim of this thesis was to explore cetacean abundance and density estimation using novel sparse array datasets, applying existing methods where possible, or developing new approaches. The wealth of data collected by sparse arrays was demonstrated by analysing a 10-year dataset collected by the U.S. Navy's Sound Surveillance System in the north-east Atlantic. Spatial and temporal patterns of blue (Balaenoptera musculus) and fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) vocal activity were investigated using generalised additive models. Distance sampling-based methods were applied to fin whale calls recorded by an array of Ocean Bottom Seismometers in the north-east Atlantic. Estimated call density was 993 calls/1000 km².hr⁻¹ (CV: 0.39). Animal density could not be estimated because the call rate was unknown. Further development of the call localisation method is required so the current density estimate may be biased. Furthermore, analysing a single day of data resulted in a high variance estimate. Finally, a new simulation-based method developed to estimate density from single hydrophones was applied to blue whale calls recorded in the northern Indian Ocean. Estimated call density was 3 calls/1000 km².hr⁻¹ (CV: 0.17). Again, density of whales could not be estimated as the vocalisation rate was unknown. Lack of biological knowledge poses the greatest limitation to abundance and density estimation using acoustic data.

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate possible functions of the sounds produced by herring-eating killer whales in the Northeast Atlantic. In this study, I investigated the whistle repertoire of killer whales, which had previously only been studied in British Columbia, where it appeared to be restricted to the audible range. However, I show that high frequency whistles (> 17 kHz) were detected in Northeast Atlantic populations but not in Northeast Pacific populations. These results indicated substantial intraspecific variation in whistle production in killer whales. Little variation was observed in high frequency whistles recorded from three different sites in the Northeast Atlantic, suggesting this signal has a similar function across locations. The estimated active space of high frequency whistles and burst-pulse calls suggested that these are short-range signals used for within-group communication. Source levels of burst-pulse calls were lower than what was previously described in British Columbia, which possibly reflected the fact that these sounds do not need to propagate far because distances between group members are generally short. Calls, high frequency whistles and herding calls produced at different depths did not appear to suffer effects due to increased pressure, such as changing frequency or duration characteristics. Feeding appeared to take place below 10 m of depth, as suggested by the localisation of depth of production of feeding-related sounds. These depths were consistent with those at which tailslaps were produced in Dtags attached to individual whales. Feeding periods were characterised by deep diving, increased sound production and highly non-directional movement. These findings suggested that killer whales in a herring spawning ground use a feeding strategy different from carousel feeding used in herring overwintering grounds. These findings showed that Northeast Atlantic killer whales have a different sound repertoire to other populations, and suggested that they may employ different feeding strategies depending on prey behaviour.

Abstract:

Southern right whales were hunted to near extinction, with an estimated 150,000 killed by intensive 19th century and illegal 20th century whaling. This thesis focuses on the coastal calving grounds of New Zealand (NZ) and Australia, where previous genetic work and survey work suggests 2 genetically distinct stocks are recovering ... Overall, the picture is encouraging for the recovering NZ southern right whale, suggesting the population is increasing at a rate comparable with conspecific stocks. The status of the NZ southern right whale as a distinct stock based on differentiation of mtDNA haplotypes is supported by the demographic closure inferred from paternity analyses. However, the stock continues to winter almost exclusively in the Auckland Islands and remains at <10% of its prewhaling abundance. The restricted range and demographic closure means it is vulnerable to local catastrophe and should continue to be monitored.

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Joint Program in Oceanography/Applied Ocean Science and Engineering (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Biology; and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution), 2007.<br>Includes bibliographical references.<br>The North Atlantic right whale, Eubalaena glacialis, one of the most critically endangered whales in the world, is subject to high anthropogenic mortality. Vessel-whale collisions and entanglement in fishing gear were indicated in 27 (67.5%) of the 40 right whales necropsied between 1970 and December 2006. Of those, at least 9 deaths (22.5%) resulted from blunt contact with a vessel. To reduce the likelihood of fatal collisions, speed restrictions are being considered for vessels traversing critical habitat, although the effects of speed on collision outcomes have not been specifically evaluated from a biomechanics perspective. The ultimate goal of a larger collaborative project is to evaluate the efficacy of speed restrictions for reducing blunt collision mortality using a multi-scale finite element model. Complete, transverse fracture of the right whale mandible, an injury seen only in right whales killed by vessels, is used as a proxy for mortality in the model. Vital for that model are the material properties and biomechanical behavior of the right whale mandible. Here, the internal structure and physical properties of right whale jawbone tissue are reported. The average apparent densities, 0.4258 g/cc ±0.0970 and 1.2370 g/cc ±0.0535 for trabecular and cortical bone respectively, indicate that the bone is of relatively low density. Average ash content for trabecular bone (64.38% ±1.1330) is comparable with values from other species, indicating that low density results from a reduction of bone mass, not mineralization. Mechanical properties of right whale bone (Young's modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio) were determined via uniaxial compression testing.<br>(cont.) These data are incorporated into the finite element model simulating different loading conditions (e.g. vessel speeds) that likely lead to mandibular failure and thereby mortality from blunt vessel collisions. Model results (e.g. risk of fracture) are used to determine the effect of speed restrictions on collision outcomes.<br>by Regina Campbell-Malone.<br>Ph.D.

Abstract:

Although major whaling practices have ceased, increasing human involvement and influence in the world’s marine ecosystems continue to adversely effect global whale populations. It is a major concern throughout Antarctic waters, where endangered Oceania Humpback Whales (Megaptera novarangliae) annually feed. This study analyzes the extent to which a proposed marine protected area within the Ross Sea may indirectly harm the last remaining endangered population of Humpbacks. Using current satellite tracks of southern Humpback migrations, this model maps the effects of displaced Toothfish fisheries, and suggests further conservations efforts, based on New Zealand’s Precautionary Approach, to protect these vulnerable whales.
