Molecular markers in keratins from Mysticeti whales for species identification of baleen in museum and archaeological collections.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Baleen has been harvested by indigenous people for thousands of years, as well as collected by whalers as an additional product of commercial whaling in modern times.

The Introduction and Development of Plate Armour in Medieval Western Europe c. 1250-1350

open access: yesFasciculi Archaeologiae Historicae, 2017
European underwent a period of rapid development and experimentation in the century after c. 1250. Whilst very little physical material has survived from this time, artistic depictions, wills, inventories and contemporary accounts attest to the use of ...

Estimating blue whale skin isotopic incorporation rates and baleen growth rates: Implications for assessing diet and movement patterns in mysticetes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Stable isotope analysis in mysticete skin and baleen plates has been repeatedly used to assess diet and movement patterns. Accurate interpretation of isotope data depends on understanding isotopic incorporation rates for metabolically active tissues and ...

Characterizing the Duration and Severity of Fishing Gear Entanglement on a North Atlantic Right Whale (Eubalaena glacialis) Using Stable Isotopes, Steroid and Thyroid Hormones in Baleen

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) are highly endangered and frequently exposed to a myriad of human activities and stressors in their industrialized habitat. Entanglements in fixed fishing gear represent a particularly pervasive and often

Severe Bone Loss as Part of the Life History Strategy of Bowhead Whales. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The evolution of baleen constituted a major evolutionary change that made it possible for baleen whales to reach enormous body sizes while filter feeding on tiny organisms and migrating over tremendous distances.

Reconstructing the diet, trophic level and migration pattern of mysticete whales based on baleen isotopic composition

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2021
Baleen from mysticete whales is a well-preserved proteinaceous material that can be used to identify migrations and feeding habits for species whose migration pathways are unknown. Analysis of δ13C and δ15N values from bulk baleen have been used to infer

Timing is everything: Drivers of interannual variability in blue whale migration. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Blue whales need to time their migration from their breeding grounds to their feeding grounds to avoid missing peak prey abundances, but the cues they use for this are unknown.
