Panel A shows the average global distribution for blue, fin, humpback, and sperm whales. Yellow- and green-shaded areas indicate ocean areas with high space usage by these species. Panel B shows global shipping traffic patterns, with yellow- and green-shaded regions indicating high levels of shipping traffic. Panel C shows the relative levels of both whales and shipping globally. Yellow-shaded areas indicate high shipping traffic but low whale occurrence. Purple-shaded areas show the opposite. Burgundy-shaded regions indicate areas of high overlap between whales and ships. (Anna Nisi)
