Marine soundscape variation reveals insights into baleen whales and their environment: a case study in central New Zealand [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Baleen whales reliably produce stereotyped vocalizations, enabling their spatio-temporal distributions to be inferred from acoustic detections. Soundscape analysis provides an integrated approach whereby vocal species, such as baleen whales, are sampled ...

Strong and lasting impacts of past global warming on baleen whales and their prey
Global Change Biology, 2022 Global warming is affecting the population dynamics and trophic interactions across a wide range of ecosystems and habitats. Translating these real‐time effects into their long‐term consequences remains a challenge.

Scaling of maneuvering performance in baleen whales: larger whales outperform expectations
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2022 Despite their enormous size, whales make their living as voracious predators. To catch their much smaller, more maneuverable prey, they have developed several unique locomotor strategies that require high energetic input, high mechanical power output and

Geometric factors influencing the diet of vertebrate predators in marine and terrestrial environments [PDF]
, 2014 Predator–prey relationships are vital to ecosystem function and there is a need for greater predictive understanding of these interactions. We develop a geometric foraging model predicting minimum prey size scaling in marine and terrestrial vertebrate ...

Synchronous seasonal change in fin whale song in the North Pacific. [PDF]
, 2014 Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) song consists of down-swept pulses arranged into stereotypic sequences that can be characterized according to the interval between successive pulses. As in blue (B. musculus) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae),

Early stages of tooth development in the harbor porpoise Phocoena phocoena
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Here we describe the stages of tooth development in toothed whales on the basis of the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). The aim of the study was to find out whether these stages are identical to those of other mammals analyzed so far although toothed whales are homodont and monophyodont.

The genome of the pygmy right whale illuminates the evolution of rorquals
BMC Biology, 2023 Background Baleen whales are a clade of gigantic and highly specialized marine mammals. Their genomes have been used to investigate their complex evolutionary history and to decipher the molecular mechanisms that allowed them to reach these dimensions ...
