Habitat preference in adult-only humpback whale groups along the eastern shoreline of the Au'au Channel, Maui, Hawaii.

*Totals slightly less than entire study region due to slight gaps in bathymetry data (Δ6.5 km2). Neu's indices provide standardized estimates of habitat use, based on habitat availability. Regions were classified as preferred (where 95% CI's of observed group counts (Oi) were entirely above the expected counts based on habitat availability (Pi)) and avoided (where 95% CI's of observed counts were entirely below the expected counts). In all other (neutral) regions, 95% CI of observed counts included the expected count. * borderline – neutral/preferred.
