Management and conservation require assessments of the population-level effects of short-term individual responses to disturbance. To bridge this gap, we integrate diverse data on blue whales and convert responses to sonar into corresponding energetic costs. Due to behavioral variation, predicted costs were extremely variable in space, time and among individuals.
