Long-term strategies for studying rare species: results and lessons from a
multi-species study of odontocetes around the main Hawaiian Islands
This paper describes both our approach to studying rare species and provides
findings from a long-term study of pygmy killer whales in Hawai‘i,

Hello all,
There are several recent publications from our Hawai’i research program that I
thought folks would be interested in, listed below. PDFs are available on our

Cascadia Research Collective has an opening for a Research Biologist/Post-doc,
to be based out of our office in Olympia, Washington. This position is aimed at
a researcher who has demonstrated ability to conduct varied research efforts
with marine mammals, successfully obtain research funding,
Cascadia Research Collective has an entry-level office-based research assistant
position available in Olympia, Washington. This position will be full-time (up
to 40 hours per week) for a minimum of six months. Continuation after that date
is contingent on performance and availability of funds.
A new book is available entitled The lives of Hawai'i's dolphins and whales:
natural history and conservation, published by the University of Hawai'i Press.
The book synthesizes our work in Hawai'i over the last 17 years, including
results from satellite tagging, photo-identification and
