Effect of Drone-based Blow Sampling on Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus) Behavior.
Carlos A. Dominguez-Sánchez, Diane Gendron y Karina A. Acevedo-Whitehouse
15.00 72 Drones are improving the way wildlife studies are conducted, in particular those involving cetaceans. The use of drones is a low-cost and versatile tool that can complement many ongoing conservation programs with less impact than other sampling methods. However, drones could have negative effects on wildlife, the risk of which we currently have limited understanding. We investigated whether the use of a drone for collecting blows samples altered blue whales’ surface and diving behaviors that are considered indicators of stress for this species. We found no evidence that the observed behaviors were modified due to sampling.
