Its daily movement distance (6.2\u2013145.9\u2009km) and speed (0.6\u20135.9\u2009km\/h) were consistent with those of healthy, free\u2010ranging conspecifics. Furthermore, diving behavior including time\u2010at\u2010depth budgets, maximum dive depth (621\u2009m), diel patterns, and thermal\u2010depth profiles reflected natural foraging activity and environmental adaptation. Notably, high density and spatial proximity of local conspecifics during the post\u2010release expedition indicate favorable conditions for social integration and long\u2010term survival. Movement trajectories suggest that the Qiongdongnan slope represents a critical habitat for this species in the northern SCS. This study provides the first empirical evidence of successful rehabilitation and release of short\u2010finned pilot whale in the SCS, supporting future stranding response and conservation initiatives.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ece3.73174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,10]],"date-time":"2026-03-10T02:45:19Z","timestamp":1773110719000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Post\u2010Release Survival and Behavioral Recovery of a Rehabilitated Short\u2010Finned Pilot Whale (\n                    <scp>\n                      <i>Globicephala\u00a0macrorhynchus<\/i>\n                    <\/scp>\n                    ) in the South China Sea Revealed Through Satellite Tracking"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3802-1002","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mingming","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Mammal and Marine Bioacoustics Laboratory, Institute of Deep\u2010Sea Science and Engineering Chinese Academy of Sciences  Sanya China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9182-0519","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mingli","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Mammal and Marine Bioacoustics Laboratory, Institute of Deep\u2010Sea Science and Engineering Chinese Academy of Sciences  Sanya China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2279-9143","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agathe","family":"Serres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Mammal and Marine Bioacoustics Laboratory, Institute of Deep\u2010Sea Science and Engineering Chinese Academy of Sciences  Sanya China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9691-8259","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mingyue","family":"Ouyang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Mammal and Marine Bioacoustics Laboratory, Institute of Deep\u2010Sea Science and Engineering Chinese Academy of Sciences  Sanya China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4977-1722","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Songhai","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Mammal and Marine Bioacoustics Laboratory, Institute of Deep\u2010Sea Science and Engineering Chinese Academy of Sciences  Sanya China"},{"name":"The Innovation Research Center for Aquatic Mammals, Key Laboratory of Aquatic Biodiversity and Conservation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences  Wuhan China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/mms.12737"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365\u20102656.2008.01393.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Daytime Dive Characteristics From Six Short\u2010Finned Pilot Whales Globicephala macrorhynchus Off Madeira Island","volume":"31","author":"Alves F.","year":"2013","journal-title":"Arquip\u00e9lago.
