17.5 Species Distributions and Habitat Use Patterns
Many variables contribute to species distribution and habitat use patterns in cetaceans, including water temperature (Gaskin 1968; Au and Perryman 1985), distance
from the shore (Karczmarski et al. 2000; Edwards and Schnell 2001), depth (Würsig
and Würsig 1979, 1980; Shane 1990), tide (Würsig and Würsig 1979; Shane 1990;
Félix 1994; Bordino et al. 1999; Edwards and Schnell 2001), time of day (Geise
