This book concentrates on the marine mammalian group of
Odontocetes, the toothed whales, dolphins, and porpoises. In 23
chapters, a total of 40 authors describe general patterns of
ethological concepts of odontocetes in their natural environments,
with a strong bent towards behavioral ecology. Examples are given
of particularly well-studied species and species groups for which
enough data exist, especially from the past 15 years. The aim is to
give a modern flavor of present knowledge of ethology and behavior
of generally large-brained behaviorally flexible mammals that have
evolved quite separately from social mammals on land. As well, the
plight of populations and species due to humans is described in
multiple chapters, with the goal that an understanding of behavior
can help to solve or alleviate at least some human-made problems.
