What do humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae (Cetartiodactyla: Balaenopteridae) pairs do after tagging? [PDF]
Zoologia, 2014 The social structure of humpback whales in their tropical wintering grounds is very fluid. To date, no information has been published for cases in which two whales were both satellite-tagged while in association.

Influence of Solvent Lipid Extraction on Tissue-Specific Carbon Isotopes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolTo assess the impact of solvents on δ13C, we used a standard lipid extraction protocol on four different pure proteins and humpback whale blubber, a very lipid‐rich tissue. The results showed that the solvents did not have a significant effect on δ13C and δ15N of pure proteins as values largely remained within 0.5‰ of unextracted samples, which is ...

A new species of rorqual whale (Cetacea, Mysticeti, Balaenopteridae) from the Late Miocene of the Southern North Sea Basin and the role of the North Atlantic in the paleobiogeography of Archaebalaenoptera [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background The rich fossil record of rorqual and humpback whales (Cetacea, Mysticeti, Balaenopteridae) is mainly characterized by monotypic genera since genera including more than one species are extremely rare.
