传统生态学知识（TEK）已被用于阿拉斯加白鲸（Delphinapterus leucas）的生物学研究，但此前没有研究系统地记录了这一知识。这是第一次在阿拉斯加的诺顿湾、巴克兰和波因特莱进行的研究，它描述了迁徙和当地的运动、喂养、产犊、生态相互作用以及人类对分布和行为的影响。结果与之前的研究一致，但增加了相当多的细节，包括对人为噪音的回避和习惯反应的描述，这似乎部分取决于与狩猎活动的联系。通过提供更好的信息和扩大通过共同管理开发的协作过程，更多地利用TEK将有利于研究和管理。
Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) has been used opportunistically in biological studies of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in Alaska, but no previous research has documented this knowledge systematically. This first such effort, which took place in Norton Bay, Buckland, and Point Lay, Alaska, provided descriptions of migratory and local movements, feeding, calving, ecological interactions, and human influences on distribution and behavior. The results are consistent with those of previous studies but add considerable detail, including descriptions of avoidance and habituation responses to anthropogenic noise, which appear to depend in part on association with hunting activities. Making greater use of TEK will benefit both research and management by providing better information and by expanding the collaborative process developed through co-management.
