Acknowledgements

Our thanks to a myriad of people who have directly helped in field studies (especially ship surveys) and indirectly helped us in developing the intellectual framework to begin to understand these complex animals. David Demer and Roger Hewitt provided constant support in hydroacoustic data collection and processing, Tom Kiekhefer processed whale fecal samples, Jennifer Emery helped process hydroacoustic records, Reiko Michisaki helped process physical and biological oceanographic data, Dan Costa, Jim Harvey, and Terrie Williams enabled us to pursue the temporal approach, Charles Greene, Gary Griggs, and the Bioacoustics Workshop provided support for shipboard surveys, Nancy Gong and Kit Clark tirelessly sorted zooplankton samples. Of equal importance has been the support and good will of the personnel of the R/V John Martin, R/V Davey Johnston, and the MLML Ship Operations, especially Tracy Thomas, J.D. , Lee Bradford, and Maria Kaanapu. D. Croll and B. Tershy were supported in part by Office of Naval Research Grants N00014-95-10646 and N00014-99-10192, Marine Acoustics Contract MAI9811, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration contract 40ABNF600916. D. Croll and B. Marinovic were supported in part by Department of Energy Western Global Environmental Change grant 990196. Additional research support was provided by the Homeland Foundation, and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
