Distributions of Arctic and Northwest Atlantic killer whales inferred from oxygen isotopes
Abstract Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are distributed widely in all oceans, although they are most common in coastal waters of temperate and high-latitude regions. The species’ distribution has not been fully described in the northwest Atlantic (NWA), where killer whales move into seasonally ice-fre...
